Kenny Rogers - Me & Bobby McGee lyrics
[Kenny Rogers - Me & Bobby McGee lyrics]
Busted flat it Baton Rouge
Headin' for the trains
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 mouth harp out of
My old dirty red bandana
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby's clappin' hands we finally
Sang up every song that driver knew
Woe, freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin'
But it's free
Oh oh oh feelin' good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Bobby McGee
From the coalmines of Kentucky
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me, Lord
Through everything I'd done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
I let her slip away
Looking for that home and I hope she'd find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Feelin' Bobby's body next to mine
Woe, freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left was all she left for me
Woe, feelin' good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for
Me and by McGee
Woe, freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
Woe, feelin' good was easy
Lord when Bobby sang the blues'
Headin' for the trains
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 mouth harp out of
My old dirty red bandana
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby's clappin' hands we finally
Sang up every song that driver knew
Woe, freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin'
But it's free
Oh oh oh feelin' good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Bobby McGee
From the coalmines of Kentucky
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me, Lord
Through everything I'd done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord

Looking for that home and I hope she'd find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows

Feelin' Bobby's body next to mine
Woe, freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left was all she left for me
Woe, feelin' good was easy, Lord

Feeling good was good enough for

Woe, freedom's just another word

Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
