Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
When I was feeling near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
[Verse 2]
I pulled my harpoon out of 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
We sang every song that driver knew
[Chorus]
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing don't mean nothing, honey, if it ain't free, no-no
Yeah, feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
[Verse 3]
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
[Verse 4]
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
[Chorus]
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, mmm hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
[Bridge]
La-da-da, la-da-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da-da
La-da-da, la-la-da-da-da, Bobby McGee, yeah
La-da-da, la-la-la
La-da-da-da-da
La-la-la, la-la-da, Bobby McGee, yeah
La-da-da, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-da
La-da-da, la-la-la, la-da-da
Hey now, Bobby, Lord, now Bobby McGee, yeah
Lordy, Lordy, now, Lordy now
Lordy now, la-la-la, la-la-na, la-la-na, la-na now
Hey now, Bobby, Lord, now Bobby McGee, yeah
Well, I wanna call him my lover, call him my man
I said, I call him my lover, did the best I can, come on
Hey now, Bobby now, hey now, Bobby McGee, yeah
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lord now
Hey, hey, hey, it's Bobby McGee, Lord
[Outro]
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, la-da-da-da-da
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, yeah
