Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained Took us all away to New Orleans I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna And was blowin' sad while bobby sang the blues With those windshield wipers slappin' time And Bobby clappin' hands we finally sung up every song that driver knew Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feelin' good 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 every thing I done 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've trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee Me and Bobby McGee Me and Bobby McGee
