Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file



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

And rode us all the way into New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon out of
my dirty red bandana
I's playin' soft while

Bobby sang the 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', it ain't nothin'

honey, if it ain't free
And feelin' good was easy,
lord, oh, when he sang the blues

You know 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,
through everything we done
Yeah 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

Well I'd trade all 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', and that's all that Bobby left me

Well, feelin' good was easy,
lord, when he sang the blues
And feelin' good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

La da da da da, La da da,
La da Bobby McGee
La da da da, La da da,

La da da Bobby McGee
La da da da da, La da da,
La da Bobby McGee

La da da da, La da...
