Lyrics

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, heading for a train
Feelin’ near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way into New Orleans

I pulled my own harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And blowed it low while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time,
And Bobby clappin’ hands we finally
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, so free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
And buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everythin' I done
Every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Searching for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' her good body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain’t worth nothin’ unless it’s free, so 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

And buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
