Anne Murray - Me and Bobby McGee lyrics

rate me

(Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster)

Busted flat it Baton Rouge, waitin' 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 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.

Freedom's just another word

For nothin' left to lose

And nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it’s free

Feelin' good was easy, Lord

When Bobby sang the blues

Feeling good was good enough

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 though through everything I’d done

And every night he kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord

I let her slip away

Looking for that home and I hope he finds

I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.

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 by McGee.

La, la, la, la, la - la, la, la for me and Bobby McGee

La, la, la la, la - la, la, la for me and Bobby McGee

La, la, la la, la - la, la, la for me and Bobby McGee

La, la, la la, la - la, la, la for me and Bobby McGee

La, la, la la, la - la, la, la for me and Bobby McGee...
