Me and Bobby McGee

(Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster)
 Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed 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 har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
 I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
 With them windshield whipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands
 We finally sang up ever song that driver knew.
 Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
 Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
 Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
 Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
 --- Instrumental ---
 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
 Every night she'd keep me from the cold.
 Somewhere near Salinas Lord Bobby slipped away
 Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
 I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
 Holding her body close to mine.
 Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
 Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
 Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
 Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
 --- Instrumental to fade ---
