Me And Bobby Mcgee

(앨범: Lonesome, On'ry And Mean - 1972)

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains
Feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans.

I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whipers slapping time and Bobby clapping hands
We finally sang up ever 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
Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night she'd keep me from the cold.

Somewhere near Salinas Lord Bobby slipped away
Looking for the home I hope she'll find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
Holding her body close to mine.

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
Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
