Me And Bobby Mcgee

(álbum: Just Plain Charley - 1970)

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 the way to New Orleans
I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowing 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
And nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
Oh but feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
And feeling good 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
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
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holding Booby's body next to mine
And nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
Oh but feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
A body that was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee
La da da da dee da da da...
