Busted flat in Baton Rouge
headin' 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 har'poon out
of my dirty red bandana
And was blowing sad
while Bobby sang the blues

With them windshield whipers slapping time
And Bobby clapping hands
we finally sang up ever song
that driver knew

Freedom's just another word
for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin'
but it's free

Oh but feeling good was easy, Lord
when Bobby sang the blues
And feeling good was good enough for me
good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky
to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me, Lord
through everything I done
And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hope she'll find
And I'll trade all my tomorrows
for a single yesterday
Holdin' Boby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word
for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' left is all
she left for me

Oh but feeling good was easy, Lord
when Bobby sang the blues
A body that was good enough for me
good enough for me and Bobby McGee

La da da da dee da da da
