Busted flat in Baton Rouge
+
Waitin' for the train
+
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
+
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
+
Just before it rained
+
Rode us all the way to New Orleans
+
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
+
And was playing soft
+
While Bobby sang the blues
+
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
+
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
+
We 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 he sang the blues
+
And feelin' good was good enough for me
+
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
+
From Kentucky coal mines
+
To the California sun
+
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
+
Through all kinds of weather, Lord
+
Through everything I done
+
Bobby baby kept me from the cold
+
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
+
I let him slip away
+
Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find it
+
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' left is all that Bobby left me
+
Feelin good was easy, Lord
+
When he sang the blues
+
And buddy, that was good enough for me
+
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
+
