Me And Bobby McGee

(アルバム： Sit Down Young Stranger / If You Could Read My Mind - 1970)

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Busted flat in baton rouge
Heading for the train
Feeling 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 blowing sad while bobby sang the blues
With those windshield wipers slapping time
And bobby clapping hands we finally
Sung up every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word
For nothing left to lose
Nothing ain't worth nothin
But it's free
Feeling good was easy lord
When bobby sang the blues
Feeling 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
Standing 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
Searching for the home
I hope she'll find
And I'd give all my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Holding bobby's body close to mine

Freedom's just another word
For nothing left to lose
Nothing ain't worth nothin
But it's free
Feeling good was easy lord
When bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and bobby McGee
