Kenny Rogers Me and Bobby Mcgee song lyrics

Busted flat it 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 took my mouth harp out of my old dirty red bandana

I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

With those windshield wipers slappin' time

And Bobby's clappin' hands we finally

Sang up every song that driver knew.

Woe, freedom's just another word

For nothin' left to lose

And nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free

Oh oh oh feelin' good was easy, Lord

When Bobby sang the blues

Feeling good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee.

From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standing right beside me, Lord, through everything I'd done

And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord

I let her slip away

Looking for that home and I hope she'd find

I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Feelin' Bobby's body next to mine.

Woe, freedom's just another word

For nothin' left to lose

Nothin' left was all she left for me

Woe, feelin' good was easy, Lord

When Bobby sang the blues

Feeling good was good enough for me and by McGee.

Woe, freedom's just another word

For nothin' left to lose

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

Woe, feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues'
