Roger Miller - Me And Bobbie McGee lyrics

Busted flat in 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 harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while
Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whispers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands we finally
Sang up every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for
Nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' 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

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 everynight she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
I'd trade all my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for
Nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left to show she left for me
Feeling good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Buddy that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Bobby McGee

Me and Bobby McGee me and Bobby McGee
Me and Bobby McGee
