Southland Tales movie - Me & Bobby McGee lyrics

rate me

Song by Waylon Jennings<br /><br>

(Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster)<br>

<br>

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains<br>

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans<br>

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained<br>

Took us all the way to New Orleans.<br>

<br>

I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana<br>

I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues<br>

With them windshield whipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands<br>

We finally sang up ever song that driver knew.<br>

<br>

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose<br>

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free<br>

Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues<br>

Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee.<br>

<br>

Instrumental<br>

<br>

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun<br>

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul<br>

Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done<br>

Every night she'd keep me from the cold.<br>

<br>

Somewhere near Salinas Lord Bobby slipped away<br>

Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find<br>

I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday<br>

Holding her body close to mine.<br>

<br>

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose<br>

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free<br>

Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues<br>

Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee.<br>
