Me and Bobby McGee (2024 Mix)

Busted flat in Baton Rouge

Waitin' for a train

Feelin' 'bout as faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down

Right before it rained

Took us all the way to New Orleans.

I took my harpoon out of my faded ole bandana

And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

With them windshield whipers slappin' time

And Bobby clappin' hands

We we finally sang up ever song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

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

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

Feelin' 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 everythin' I'd done

ev'ry night she kept me from the cold.

Aw, but somewhere near Salinas,

Lord, I let her slip away

Searchin' for that home I hope she'll find

I'd trade all of my tomorrows

For one single yesterday

Jus' holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

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

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

Feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

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, la, la, la, la

Aw, but somewhere near Salinas,

Lord, I let her slip away

Searchin' for that home I hope she'll find

I'd trade all of my tomorrows

For one single yesterday

Jus' holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.
