Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
|
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
|
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
|
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.
|
|
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
|
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
|
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,
|
We sang every song that driver knew.
|
|
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
|
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
|
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
|
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
|
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
|
|
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
|
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
|
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done,
|
Hey Bobby baby kept me from the cold.
|
|
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away,
|
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
|
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
|
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.
|
|
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
|
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah,
|
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
|
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
|
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
|
|
La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
|
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
|
La la la la la, la la la la la
|
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la.
|
|
La La la, la la la la la la,
|
La La la la la la la la la, hey now Bobby now Bobby McGee yeah.
|
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
|
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah.
|
|
Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man,
|
I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can,
|
C'mon, where is Bobby now, where is Bobby McGee, yeah,
|
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
|
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!
|
|
Yeah! Whew!
|
|
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
|
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee.
