Lyrics

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headed for the trains
 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 harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
 I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
 With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' 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
 Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
 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
 Every night she'd keep me from the cold
 And then one day near Salinas Lord, I let her slipped away
 Searchin' for the home I hope she'll find
 And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
 Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
 Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
 Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
 Feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
 Feeling good, buddy that was good enough for me
 And Waylon and Johnny and Willy
 Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
 (Yeah, Willy) yeah
 ♪
 Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
 ♪
 I feel good and Bobby McGee, yeah
 ♪
 Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
 Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
 (And it don't cost nothin')
 Feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
 Buddy that was good enough for me
 Good enough for me and Bobby McGee, yeah
