Watchmen movie - Me & Bobby McGee lyrics

rate me

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train<br>

And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.<br>

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

It rode us all the way to New Orleans.<br>

<br>

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,<br>

I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.<br>

Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,<br>

We sang every song that driver knew.<br>

<br>

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,<br>

Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.<br>

And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,<br>

You know feeling good was good enough for me,<br>

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.<br>

<br>

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

Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.<br>

Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done,<br>

Hey Bobby baby? kept me from the cold.<br>

<br>

One day up near Salinas,I let him slip away,<br>

He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it,<br>

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

To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.<br>

<br>

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,<br>

Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah,<br>

But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,<br>

Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,<br>

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.<br>

<br>

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la<br>
