Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' 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 And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues With them windshield whispers slappin' time And Bobby clappin' hands we finally Sang up every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free Feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feeling good 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 Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I done And everynight she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' left to show she left for me Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Buddy that was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Bobby McGee
Me and Bobby McGee Me and Bobby McGee Me and Bobby McGee
