Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics - Roger Miller

Busted flat in Baton Rouge 

And headin' 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 

And I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna 

And was blowin sad while Bobby sang the blues 

With them windshield wipers slappin' time 

And Bobby clappin' hands with mine we finally 

Sang every song that driver knew 

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

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

Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when 

Bobby sang the blues 

Buddy, that 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 

Standin' right beside me, Lord 

Through everything I done 

And every night she kept me from the cold 

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord 

I let her slip away 

Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find 

And I'd trade all of my tomorrows 

For one single yesterday 

Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine 

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

Nothin' ain't worth nothing, but it's free 

Feelin' good was easy, Lord 

When bobby sang the blues 

And feeling good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
