Me And
Bobby McGee

Lyrics and Music by
Kris Kristofferson 8 Fred Foster

(D 1969 Combine Music Corp.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge.

waitin' for a train.
I was feclin' near as faded

as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down

just before it rained.
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 the blues.
Windshield wipers slappin' time.
I was holding Bobby's hand in mine.
We sang every song

that driver knew.
heudom's just another word
for nothing left to lose.
And nothin' ain't worth nothin'

honey. but it's free.
Feeling good was easy Lord.

when he sang the blues.

And feeling good

was good enough for me.
From the Kentucky coal mines
to the California sun.
Bobby shared

the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather.
through everything we done

011. Bobby 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.
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows
for one single yesterday

holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.
Freedom's just another word for
nothin'lefttolose.
AndnounnlthafsanthatBobby

left me.
Feeling good was easy Lord.

when he sang the blues.

And fcclin' good

was good enough for me.
Good enough fer me

and Bobby McGee.

La la la. la la la. la la la la la.
