Me And Bobby McGee

(álbum: I Wanna Be Free - 1971)

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee) La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee) La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge heading 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 pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield whipers slapping time I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
We sang 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
Feeling good was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee
La la la la la la (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 he kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
Searching for the home I hope he'll find
And I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holding Bobby's body close to mine
Freedom's just another word...
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)...
