Me and Bobby McGee (Album Version)

Me And Bobby Mcgee - Gordon Lightfoot

Busted flat in baton rouge

Headin' for the train

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down

Just before it rained

Took us all away to new orleans

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana

And was blowin' sad while bobby sang the blues

With those windshield wipers slappin' time

And bobby clappin' hands we finally

Sung up every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word

For nothin' left to lose

Nothin' ain't worth nothin

But it's free

Feelin' good was easy Lord

When bobby sang the blues

Feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and bobby mcgee

From the coalmines of kentucky

To the california sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standin' right beside me Lord

Through every thing I done

Every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near salinas Lord

I let her slip away

Searchin' for the home

I hope she'll find

And I'd give all my tomorrows

For a single yesterday

Holdin' bobby's body close to mine

Freedom's just another word

For nothin' left to lose

Nothin' ain't worth nothin

But it's free

Feelin' good was easy Lord

When bobby sang the blues

Feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and bobby mcgee
