Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin’ for a trainWhen I’s feelin’ near as faded as my jeansBobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rainedAnd rode us all the way into New OrleansI pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanaI’s playin’ soft while Bobby sang the bluesWindshield wipers slappin’ time, I’s holdin’ Bobby’s hand in mineWe sang every song that driver knewFreedom is just another word for nothin’ left to loseNothin’, don’t mean nothin’ hon’ if it ain’t free, no-noAnd feelin’ good was easy, Lord, when he sang the bluesYou know feelin’ good was good enough for meGood enough for me and my Bobby McGeeFrom the Kentucky coal mine to the California sunThere Bobby shared the secrets of my soulThrough all kinds of weather, through everything we doneYeah, Bobby baby, kept me from the coldOne day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip awayHe’s lookin’ for that home, and I hope he finds itBut, I’d trade all of my tomorrows, for one single yesterdayTo be holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mineFreedom is just another word for nothin’ left to loseNothin’, and that’s all that Bobby left me, yeahBut feelin’ good was easy, Lord, when he sang the bluesThat feelin’ good was good enough for me, mmm-hmmGood enough for me and my Bobby McGeeLa-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da-daLa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, Bobby McGee, yeahLa-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-daLa, la-la-la-da-da- Bobby McGee, oh yeahLa-da-da, la-da-da, la, da-da, la, da-daLa-da-da, la-da-da, la-di-daHey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeahLord, oh Lord, oh Lord, lo-da-da, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-naHey now, Bobby now, now Bobby McGee, yeahWell, I wanna call him my lover, call him my manI said, I call him my lover, did the best I can, come onHey now, Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeahLord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, ohHey-hey-hey, Bobby McGee, Lord
