[Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson - Me and Bobby McGee lyrics]
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 harpoon out of
My dirty red bandanna
I was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slapping time
And Bobby clapping hands
We finally sang up every
Song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for
Nothing left to lose
And nothing is worth nothing but it's free
Feeling good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that 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
Through everything I've done
And every night he kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas
I let him slip away
Looking for the home I hope he'll find
And I'll trade all my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Holding Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for
Nothing left to lose
And nothing is worth nothing but it's free
Feeling good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Enough for me and Bobby McGee
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
I let him slip away
Looking for the home I hope he finds
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah
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 harpoon out of
My dirty red bandanna
I was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slapping time
And Bobby clapping hands
We finally sang up every
Song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for
Nothing left to lose
And nothing is worth nothing but it's free
Feeling good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that 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
Through everything I've done
And every night he kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas
I let him slip away
Looking for the home I hope he'll find
And I'll trade all my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Holding Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for
Nothing left to lose
And nothing is worth nothing but it's free
Feeling good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Enough for me and Bobby McGee
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
I let him slip away
Looking for the home I hope he finds
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah
