Me & Bobby Mcgee Lyrics - Barenaked - Jennifer Love Hewitt

Busted flat in baton rouge 

Waitin' for a train 

But I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans 

Bobby flagged the diesel down 

Just before it rained 

And wrote a song on the way to New Orleans 

Now I pulled my harpoon and my dirty red bandanna 

And I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah 

Wind shield wipers slappin' time 

I was holdin' bobby's hand in mine 

And we sang every song that driver knew 

And freedom was just another word for nothin' left to lose 

Nothin's and that's all that bobby left me, yeah 

And feeling good was easy Lord 

When he sang the blues 

Feelin' good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee 

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun 

Now Bobby shared the secrets of my soul 

Through all kinds of weather 

Through everything we done 

Now Bobby baby helped me hold it over 

One day out near Salinas, Lord 

I let him slip away 

He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it 

'Cause I'll trade all my tomorrows 

For one single yesterday 

To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine 

And freedom was just another word for nothin' left to lose 

Nothin' and it's all that Bobby left me, yeah 

And feeling good was easy Lord 

When he sang the blues 

You know feelin' good was good enough for me 

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee 

Bobby McGee 

Bobby McGee, yeah 

Hey now Bobby, Bobby, Bobby McGee, yeah 

Hey now Bobby, Bobby, Bobby McGee, yeah 

Lord I call you my lover 

I call you my man 

I said I call you my lover just as fast as I can 

Come on, hey Bobby now, hey Bobby McGee, yeah 

Bobby McGee, yeah
