lyrics

Busted flat in Baton Rouge and headed for a train
Feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
took us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
i was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
Bobby clappin' hands we find we sang 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 coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me lord through evertthing ive done
Every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas lord, I let her slip away
Searching for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
Holding Bobby's body close to mine

Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' aint worth nothin but it's free
Feelin' good was easy lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good is good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
