C Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headinʼ for the train G7 Feelinʼ nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down Just before it rained C Took us all the way to New Orleans C I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna C7 F And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues With those windshield wipers slappinʼ time C And Bobby clappinʼ hands G7 C We finally sang up every song that driver knew F C Freedomʼs just another word for nothinʼ left to lose G7 C Nothinʼ ainʼt worth nothinʼ but itʼs free F C Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues G7 Feeling good was good enough for me C Good enough for me and Bobby McGee From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standinʼ right beside me Lord Through everything Iʼve done And every night she kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away Lookinʼ for the home I hope sheʼll find And Iʼd trade all of my tomorrows For a single yesterday Holdinʼ Bobbyʼs body next to mine Freedomʼs just another word for nothinʼ left to lose Nothinʼ left is all she left for me Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues And buddy that was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
