Jerry Lee Lewis – Me and Bobby McGee

Lyrics

 

Busted flat in Baton RougeHeading for the trainFeelin’ nearly faded as my jeansBobby thumbed a diesel downJust before it rainedTook us all the way to New OrleansI pulled my old harpoon out of my dirty red bandannaBlowing lowWhile Bobby sang the bluesWith them windshield wipers slappin’ timeBobby clapping hand in mineWe sang every song that driver knew
Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to loseNothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s freeFeelin’ good was easy, LordWhen Bobby sang the bluesLord that was good enough for meGood enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coal mines of KentuckyTo the California sunBobby shared the secrets of my soulHe was standing right beside meThrough everything I doneEvery night he kept me from the coldThen somewhere near SalinasI let him slip awayLooking for the home I hope he’ll findAnd I’ll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterdayHolding Bobby’s body close to mine
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to loseAnd nothing is worth nothing but it’s freeFeeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the bluesBuddy, that was good enough for meGood enough for me and Bobby McGee
