Lyrics
Mm, mm Busted flat in Baton Rouge Headin' for a train Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down Just before it rained And it took us all the way to New Orleans I took my harmonica from my dirty red bandana I was blowin' low while Bobby sang the blues With them windshield wipers clappin' time And Bobby's hands in mine 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 Oh, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feelin' 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 He was standin' right beside me, Lord Through everything I've done And every night he kept me from the cold Oh, but somewhere near Salinas Lord, I let him get away Lookin' for a home, I hope he finds But I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose And nothin' Lord is all that Bobby left me (yeah) Oh, but feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feelin' good was good enough for me, yes, it was Good enough for me and Bobby McGee Oh, I'm lonely, Bobby McGee Oh lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Lonely me Ain't you missing me, Bobby McGee? Oh Yeah, he was my lover, he was my man But he's left me here just raisin' my hand Have mercy on me, Bobby McGee Oh lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Lonely me Come back to me, Bobby McGee Bobby McGee That's the best part of the song for me
