Me & Bobby Mcgee Lyrics - Grateful Dead

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train 

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans 

And Bobby flagged the diesel down, just before it rained 

Took us all the way to New Orleans 

I took my harpon out of my dirty red bandanna 

I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blue 

With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands 

We finally sang near every song that driver knew 

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do 

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free 

Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues 

Feelin' 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 

Standing right beside me, Lord, in everything I done 

Bobby's body kept me from the cold 

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away 

Lookin' for that home, I hope she finds 

And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday 

Holding Bobby's body close to mine 

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose 

Nothin' was all she left for me 

Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues 

Feelin' good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee 

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do 

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free 

Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues 

Feelin' good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
