Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
|
And I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans
|
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
|
It rode us all the way into New Orleans
|
Now I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
|
And I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
|
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
|
We sang every song that driver knew, yeah
|
|
Freedom was just another word for nothin' left to lose
|
Nothin' and it's all there bubbling me
|
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
|
Listen up, feelin' good was good enough for me
|
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
|
|
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
|
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
|
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
|
Now Bobby baby help me hold it over
|
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
|
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
|
Cause I'd trade all o' my tomorrows for one single yesterday
|
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
|
|
Freedom was just another word for nothin' left to lose
|
Nothin', that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
|
But if feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
|
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me, mm-hmm
|
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
|
|
La-da-da La-da-da-da La-da-da da-da da-da
|
La-da-da da-la-da la-da, Bobby McGee, yeah

|
Lo-da-la-lo da-la-lo la-la-lo la-la-lo la-la
|
Hey, my Bobby, Bobby Bobby McGee, yeah
|
|
Lord, I call you my lover, call you my man
|
I said I call you my lover, just the best I can, c'mon
|
Hey now Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
|
La-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-la
|
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, yeah!
