Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
waitin' for a train
And I 's feelin' nearly 's
faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
just before it rained
It rode us all the way
to New Orleans

I pulled my harpoon
out o' my dirty red bandanna,
I 's playin' soft while
Bobby sang the Blues, ya
Windshield wipers slappin' time,
I 's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew, ya

Freedom's just another word
for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' don't mean nothin',
honey, if that ain't free, no no
Yeah, feelin' good was easy,
Lord, when he sang the Blues
You know feelin' good was
good enough for me, ya
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 and we'd done
Hey Bobby, baby, kept me from the cold

One day, oh, near Salinas,
Lord, I let him slip away
He 's lookin' for that home
and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all o' my Tomorrows
for one single Yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But a feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the Blues
Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, hmm hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee, ya
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, ya ya

La La la, la la la la la la
La La la la la la la la la,
hey now Bobby, Lord now,
Bobby McGee, yeah
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby, Lord, my Bobby McGee, yeah

Lord, I'm callin' my lover, callin' my man
I said I'm callin' my lover, do the best I can
Come on, hey now Bobby, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord, oh
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!

Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord!
Hey, hey, hey -- Bobby McGee, ya!
