von Jerry Lee Lewis

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Me and Bobby McGee" von Jerry Lee Lewis erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, der mit seinem Freund Bobby McGee durch da...

Busted flat in Baton Rouge;
Headin' for the trains,
Feelin' 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 bandana
And was blowin' sad, while Bobby sang the blues;
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands we fin'ly
Sang up every song that driver knew;

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
And nothin' aint worth nothin' but it's free;
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues;
And Buddy, that was good enough for me;
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul;
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I done,
And every night she kept me from the cold;

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord,
I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find;
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine;

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
And nothin' left was all she left for me;
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues;
Feeling good was good enough for me; Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
