Me And Bobby Mcgee Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(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.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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.

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.

Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues 

Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
