Kris Kristofferson:Me and Bobby McGee.

I hope you like this song, it was one that really inspierd me.

Enjoy, Nate.




Busted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains
                          
feeling nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
                          
took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
                                        
and was blowing sad while Bobby sang the Blues

with them windshield wipers slapping time
                                                                 
and Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew
                               
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
                                   
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
                              
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues

Feeling 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

Standing right beside me Lord through everything I done
                                
Every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
                                    
searching for the home I hope she'll find
                                    
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
                          
holding Bobby's body next to mine
                               
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
                              
Nothing left is all she left for me
                              
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues

Buddy that was good enough for me
                            
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
(Fade out with)
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
                        
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
                        
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
