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.
|
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
|
And 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,
|
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 through everythin' I done,
|
And every night she kept me from the cold.
|
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
|
She was lookin' for the love I hope she'll find,
|
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
|
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.
|
|
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
|
And nothin' left was all she left to me,
|
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.
