Song | Me and Bobby McGee |
Artist | Kris Kristofferson |
Album | KBCO Studio C Volume 12 |
[00:06.47] | Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train |
[00:11.74] | And I’s feeling nearly as faded as my jeans. |
[00:18.41] | Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, |
[00:23.10] | It rode us all the way to New Orleans. |
[00:27.94] | I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna, |
[00:33.18] | I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues. |
[00:38.94] | Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby’s hand in mine, |
[00:44.65] | We sang every song that driver knew. |
[00:49.50] | Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, |
[00:54.85] | Nothing don’t mean nothing honey if it ain’t free, now now. |
[00:59.82] | And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues, |
[01:04.81] | You know feeling good was good enough for me, |
[01:08.15] | Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. |
[01:15.22] | From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun, |
[01:23.38] | Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul. |
[01:28.67] | Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done, |
[01:33.70] | Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold. |
[01:38.82] | One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away, |
[01:44.02] | He’s looking for that home and I hope he finds it, |
[01:49.35] | But I’d trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday |
[01:54.13] | To be holding Bobby’s body next to mine. |
[01:59.72] | Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, |
[02:04.91] | Nothing, that’s all that Bobby left me, yeah, |
[02:09.64] | But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues, |
[02:14.75] | Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm, |
