Kris Kristofferson "Me and Bobby McGee" |
(Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster) [Harmony vocal - Jackson Browne] 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 pulled my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues With the windshield whipers slappin' time And Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up 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 Feelin' good was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee. --- Instrumental --- 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 Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' her body next to mine. 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 Feelin' good was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee. Lalala lalala me and Bobby McGee, lalala lalala me and Bobby McGee... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
