Me and Bobby McGee Songtext
von Peter Jezewski

Bought a flat in Baton Rouge, headed for a train
Feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bought a tumble diesel van just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans

Oh, I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
And I was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slapping time and Bobby clapping hands
We finally sang up every song that Bobby knew

Freedom′s just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain't worth nothing, but it′s free, yes, 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

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done
Every night you kept me from the cold


From somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hope she finds
And I′d trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holding Bobby′s body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing ain′t worth nothing, but it's free, yes, it′s free
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me, yeah
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, me and Bobby McGee

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, me and Bobby McGee
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, me and Bobby McGee

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, me and Bobby McGee
