Lyrics

Busted flat in Baton rouge, headin' for the train
 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 bandanna
 I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
 With them windshield wipers 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
 And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
 Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
 Buddy, that 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 through everything I've done
 And every night he kept me from the cold
 Then somewhere near Salinas I let him slip away
 Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find
 And I'll 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 is all he left me, yeah
 Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
 Buddy, that was good enough for me
 Good enough for Me And Bobby McGee
