Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin' for a train
And I was feelin' near's faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
And rode us all the way in to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon outta my dirty red bandana
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues- yeah
Windshield wipers slapping time
I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
And we sang every song that driver knew
CHORUS:
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose
Nothing- well no nothing honey if ain't free- yeah
And feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me- hmm hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
LA LA LA's
From the Kentucky cole mines
To the California sun
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
Through everything we done
Yeah Bobbby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
He's a lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
Well I trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
CHORUS:
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing- well that's all that Bobby left me- yeah
Well feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me- hmm hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
LA LA LA's
& Naw Naw Naw's
Hey Hey Hey Bobby McGee Yeah!
