Roger Miller - Me and Bobby McGee lyrics
[Roger Miller - Me and Bobby 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 wipers slappin' time and
Bobby clappin' hands we fin-
-ally 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
Feelin' good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' 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
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And 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 is all she left for me
I bet feelin' good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la la la Bobby McGee
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la la me and Bobby McGee
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la me and Bobby McGee (Hey, ho)
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la me and Bobby McGee
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la me and Bobby McGee
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la me and Bobby McGee
(Ha, ho, hey ho)
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la me and Bobby McGee
La da la la la, la da la la la da la
La da da la me and Bobby McGee
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 wipers slappin' time and
Bobby clappin' hands we fin-
-ally 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
Feelin' good was easy, Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coal mines of Kentucky
