Me and Bobby McGee

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee) La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee) La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge 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

I pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana

And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

With those windshield whipers slappin' time I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine

We 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

Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

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

La la la la la la (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 he kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let him slip away

Searching for the home I hope he'll find

And I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

Freedom's just another word...

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)...
