Busted flat in Baton Rouge

Waitin' for a train

And I was feelin' near's faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down

Just before it rained

And rode us all the way in to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon outta my dirty red bandana

I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues- yeah

Windshield wipers slapping time

I was holding Bobby's hand in mine

And we sang every song that driver knew



CHORUS:

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose

Nothing- well no nothing honey if ain't free- yeah

And feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues

You know feeling good was good enough for me- hmm hmm

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

LA LA LA's



From the Kentucky cole mines

To the California sun

Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Through all kinds of weather

Through everything we done

Yeah Bobbby baby kept me from the cold

One day up near Salinas Lord I let him slip away

He's a lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it

Well I trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday

To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine



CHORUS:

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose

Nothing- well that's all that Bobby left me- yeah

Well feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues

Feeling good was good enough for me- hmm hmm

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

LA LA LA's

& Naw Naw Naw's



Hey Hey Hey Bobby McGee Yeah!
