DOLLY PARTON - Me and Bobby McGee lyrics

rate me

Busted flat in Baton Rouge heading for a train

Feeling nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained

And it took us all the way to New Orleans.

I took my harmonica from my dirty red bandana

I was blowing low while Bobby sang the blues

With them windshield wipers clappin' time and Bobby's hand in mine

We finally sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

Nothing ain't worth nothing but its free

Oh, and 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

He was standing right beside me, Lord through every thing I'd done

And every night he kept me from the cold.

Oh, but somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let him get away

Looking for a home I hope he finds

But I'd trade all of my tommorows for a single yesterday

Holding Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

And nothin', Lord is all that Bobby left me

Oh, and feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues

Feeling good was good enough for me, (yes it was)

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

Oh, I'm lonely, Bobby Mcgee.

Oh, lordy me, ain't you missing me, Bobby McGee

Yeah, he was my lover, he was my man

But he left me here just wringing my hands

Have mercy on me, Bobby McGee

Oh, lordy me, come back to me, Bobby McGee...
