Lyrics
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, I headed for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
And with the windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby's clappin' hands
We finally sang up every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
And, buddy, that 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 everything I've done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Looking 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
And nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
And, buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
