Busted flat in baton rouge
Waitin for a train when I was feeling nearly
As faded as my jeans
When bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Rode us all the way to new orleans
When I pulled my harp on out
Of my dirty red bandanna
I was playing sad while bobby sang the blues oh
The windshield wipers slappin time
I was holdin bobbys hand in mine
Well we sang every song that driver knew
Well freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose
And nothin it aint nothing and it aint free no
Yeah feeling good was easy lord when he sang the blues
Ya 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
Well bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
Through everything all we done
Well bobby baby kept me from the cold
Then one day near salinas lord I let him slip away
Hes a-looking for that home I hope he finds
And Ill trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday to be
Hold bobbys body next to mine
Well freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose
And nothin it aint nothing and it aint free no
Yeah feeling good was easy lord when he sang the blues
Ya know feeling good was good enough for me oooh
Good enough for me and my bobby mcgee yeah
Impro....etc.
Na na na na na na na na na na na hey I said a bobby mcgee yeah whoo!
