 Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train

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

 Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained

 Rode us all the way into New Orleans

 

 I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna 

 I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues-ah

 Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine

 We sang ev'ry song that driver knew

 

 Freedom is just another word for "nothing left to loose"

 Nothin', I mean nothing hon, if it ain't free no

 Oh feeling good was easy oh-ho when he sang the blues

 You know feeling good was good enough for me

 Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

 

 From the Kentucky coal mines to the California Sun

 Hey Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

 Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done

 Hey Bobby-baby kept me from the cold

 

 One day out near Salinas oh-ho, I let him slip away

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

 Well I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday, 

 To be holding Bobby's body next to mine

 

 Freedom is just another word for "nothing left to loose"

 Nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah

 Well feeling good was easy oh-ho when he sang the blues

 Hey feeling good was good enough for me

 Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

 

 Lalala... Bobby McGee

 Lalala... Bobby McGee

 Lalala... Bobby McGee

 Lalala... Bobby McGee

 

 Call him my lover, call him my man,

 I said I call him my lover just the best I can, come on

 Bobby McGee, yeah

 lalala...

 Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee

 lalala...

 Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee
