Me & Bobby McGee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
He rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang blues
Windshield wipers 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', I mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free
Yeah, feelin' good was easy Lord, when he sang the blues
Yeah, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee
From the Kentucky coal mines
To the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
and Through everything that we done
yeah Hey, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord
I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
cos, I'd trade all o' my tomorrows
For one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', an' that's all that Bobby gave me yeah
Oh, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Yeah, feelin' good was good enough for me, oo oo
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mcgee
