Busted flat in Baton Rouge
|
Waitin' for a train
|
WHEN I's Feelin' near as faded as my jeans
|
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
|
Just before it rained
|
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
|
|
I pulled my harpoon
|
Out of my dirty red bandana
|
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
|
Windshield wipers slappin' time
|
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
|
We sang every song that driver knew
|
|
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
|
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no
|
And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
|
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
|
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee
|
|
From the kentucky coal mine
|
To the California sun
|
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
|
Through all kinds of weather
|
Through everything we done
|
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold world
|
|
One day up near Salinas, Lord
|
I let him slip away
|
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
|
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows
|
For ONE single yesterday
|
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
|
|
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
|
Nothin', AND that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
|
But, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
|
Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, Mm-hmm
|
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee
