Me and Bobby McGee

Me and Bobby McGee - George Moody

Busted flat in Baton Rouge heading for the trains

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained

Took us all the way to New Orleans

Well I put my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana

Blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

With them windshield wipers slapping time and

Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up every song

That driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free

Feeling good was easy

Lord when Bobby sang the blues

And buddy that was good enough for me

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

But she was standing right beside me through everything I done

And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas

Lord I let her slip away

Looking for the home I hope she'll find

I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holding Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

And nothing left worth nothing all she left

Feelin' good was easy

Lord when Bobby sang the blues

And buddy that 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

But she was standing right beside me through everything I done

And every night she kept me from the cold

But I somewhere near Salinas

Lord I let her slip away

I looking for the home I hope she'll find

And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holding Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

And nothing left worth nothing all she left

Feelin' good was easy

Lord when Bobby sang the blues

And buddy that was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

I was good in good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
