Lyrics
Busted flat in Baton Rouge waitin' for a train
Feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my ole dirty red bandana
Blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang 'em
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 easier when Bobby sang the blues
And feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coal mines in Kentucky to that California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' there beside me Lord in everything I've done
And every night she'd keep me from the cold
Then a-somewhere near Salinas I felt her slip away
Searchin' for the home I hope she'll find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left is all she left for me
Feelin' good was easier when Bobby sang the blues
And feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
La-la-la la-la-la la, la-la-la la la
La-la-la la-la and Bobby McGee
La-la-la la-la-la la, la-la-la la la
La-la-la la, la-la la, la-la
La-la-la la-la-la la, la-la-la la la
