And we sang every song that Jabber knew
And we sang every song that driver knew
Bobby baby kept me from the coal mine
Bobby baby kept me from the cold
Busted flat and battened blue
Bobby thumbed the deeds of dawn
Pulled my harpoon from a dirty red bandit.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Pulled my harpoon from my dirty red bandana.
Busted flat and van rouge
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Busted flat and vin rouge
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Dyin''s just another word for nothin' left to lose.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
Freedom is another word for nothing else to do
Freedom is another word for nothing else to lose
Good enough for me and mayor McCheese
Good enough for me and Bobby MaGee
Green ain't just another word for nothing left to do.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
Me and Bobby motherf***** Magee
Hey, now, Bobby now, Bobby McGee.
One day a mystery, uh-huh.
One day up near Salinas, Lord.
One day on Mister Lena's, Lord,
One day a near Selina Lord,
One day some mescaline, Lord
One day up near Salinas, Lord.
Reading's just another word when there's nothin' else to do
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Somewhere near Salenas Lord, I let her slip away
Then somewhere miscellaneous Lord, I let her slip away
Then somewhere miscellaneous, Lord
I let her slip away.
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
I let her slip away.
We sang every song Mick Jagger knew.
We sang every song that driver knew.
We sang every song that driving knew.
We sang every song that driver knew.
When she brought her serpentine
Windshield wipers slappin' time
When she owed wappers slappin' Tam
Windshield wipers slapping time
When she rompered, slurpin' time
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine...
Windshield wipers slappin' time
Bobby thumbed a diesel down.
Whipper Whapper turpentine
Windshield wipers, slappin' time
Windshield wipers terpintine
Windshield wipers slappin' time
Windshield wipers, turpentine.
Windshield wipers slap in time.
Windshield wipers, turpentine
Bobby thumbed a diesel Dan.
Windshield wipers slappin' time
Bobby thumbed a diesel down.
Windshield wipers, turpentine
or
Windshield wipers slurping time
Windshield wipers slapping time
Windshield wipers, turpentine
Winshield wipers, slapping time
Wish you wouldn't drink turpentine
Windshield wipers slapping time
Wrote a song the way to New Orleans
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
3M's just another word
Freedom's just another word
And that train on a mount tomorrow for one singing yesterday
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
Bobby Thunder, Diesel Dan
Just before a train
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Bobby thumbed Adeeso Dan, just before Arrane
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Brita's just another word
Freedom's just another word
Busted flap an' battin' rudes
Bobby thumbed adeeso dan
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Busted flap in berouge
Bobby thumb and diesel Dan
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Pulled my harpoon from my dirty red bandana.
Good enough for me and my Booker T.
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
We sang every song that Jiva knew
And we sang every song that driver knew
When she washed her serpentine
Windshield wipers, slappin' time
Windshield wiper serpentine
Windshield wipers slappin' time
Wish you were serpentine
Windshield wipers slappin' time
Wishin' for some turpentine
Windshield wipers, slappin' time
