Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headed for a train
Feelin' 'bout 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 dirty red bandana
Blowin' sand while Bobby sang the blues
But those windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clapping hands we found we 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
And feelin' good was easy boys, when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
And feelin' good was easy boys, when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my 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
Oh but somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin' for a home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
And feelin' good was easy boys, when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
