Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headed for the train
Feelin’ nearly faded as my jean
Bobby turned a diesel down just before it rained
I took us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was blowing sound while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin’ time and Bobby clapping 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
Brother, that 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
Standing right beside me, Lord, through everything I’ve done
And every night, she’d keep me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Searching for a home, I hope she finds
And I’d trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
Holdin’ Bobby’s body next 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
And brother, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Brother, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
