Busted flat in baton rouge headin' for a train Feelin' 'bout as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained Took us all the way down to New Orleans I took my old harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna And was blowin' sad while bobby sang the blues With them windshield wipers slappin' time and holdin' Bobby's hand in 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 And feelin' 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 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 And feelin was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGee |
