Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' 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 bandana, I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time, Bobby clappin' hands we finally 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
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues, feelin'good 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 keep me from the cold

Somewhere near Salinas Lord, I let her slip away, lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday, holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose, nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues, feelin'good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
