[Verse 1] Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the train Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained Took us all away to New Orleans I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues With those windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands We finally sung up every song that driver knew [Chorus] Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee [Verse 2] From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin' right beside me, Lord, through every thing I've done Every night she kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away Searchin' for the home I heard she formed And I'd give all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine [Chorus] Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothing but it's free Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee [Outro] La da da, da da da da da La da da da da La da da da, me and Bobby McGee La da da, da da da da da La da da da da La da da da, me and Bobby McGee La da da, da da da da da La da da da da La da da da, me and Bobby McGee La da da, da da da da da La da da da da La da da da, me and Bobby McGee La da da, da da da da da La da da da da La da da da, me and Bobby McGee La da da, da da da da da La da da da da La da da da, me and Bobby McGee
