Charley Pride - Me And Bobby McGee lyrics
[Charley Pride - Me And Bobby McGee lyrics]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the
Train feelin' 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
Nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin'
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
Standin' 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
Holdin' Booby's body next to mine
And nothin' ain't worth nothin'
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
Train feelin' 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
Nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin'
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
Standin' 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
Holdin' Booby's body next to mine
And nothin' ain't worth nothin'
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
