Busted flat in Baton Rouge And 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 And I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna And was blowin sad while Bobby sang the blues With them windshield wipers slappin' time And Bobby clappin' hands with mine we finally Sang 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 Buddy, that 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 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 one single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothing, but it's free Feelin' good was easy, Lord When bobby sang the blues And feeling good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
