Me And Bobby Mcgee

Charlie Pride

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the train
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
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
Them windshield whipers slapping time
And Bobby clapping hands we finally
sang the very song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Oh but feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling 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
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hope she'll find
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left is all she left for me
Oh but feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Buddy that was good me and Bobby McGee
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

La da da da dee da da
La da da da dee
La da da da me and Bobby McGee
La da da da dee da da
La da da da dee
La da da da me and Bobby McGee
La da da da dee da da
La da da da dee
La da da da me and Bobby McGee
La da da da dee da da
La da da da dee
La da da da me and Bobby McGee
