Busted flat in Baton Rouge
waitin for a train And I was feelin near as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained It rode us all the way into New Orleans Now I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And I was playin soft while Bobby sang the blues
yeah Windshield wipers slappin time
I was holdin Bobby s hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew
yeah Freedom was just another word for nothin left to lose Nothin and it s all there bubbling me And feelin good was easy
Lord
when he sang the blues Listen up
feelin good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather
through everything we done Now Bobby baby help me hold it over One day up near Salinas
Lord
I let him slip away He s lookin for that home and I hope he finds it Cause I d trade all o my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holdin Bobby s body next to mine Freedom was just another word for nothin left to lose Nothin
that s all that Bobby left me
yeah But if feelin good was easy
Lord
when he sang the blues You know
feelin good was good enough for me
mm-hmm Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee La-da-da La-da-da-da La-da-da da-da da-da La-da-da da-la-da la-da
