    Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin’ fer a train
    When I’s feeling nearly faded as my jeans
    Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
    And rode us all the way to New Orleans
    I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
    I’s playing soft while Bobby sung the blues, n-yeah
    Windshield wipers slapping time I’s, holding Bobby’s hand in mine and
    We sang every song that driver knew

    Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose,
    Nothing, I mean nothing honey if it ain’t free, no no
    Yeah feeling good was easy Lord 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
    Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
    Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
    Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold world
    One day 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 of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
    To be holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine

    Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose
    Nothing, and that’s all that Bobby left me, yeah
    But feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
    Hey feeling good was good enough for me, hmm-mm
    Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

    La da la la la, la da la la la da la
    La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah
    La da la la la, la da la la la da la
    La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah
    La da la la la, la da la la la da la
    La da da la la la Bobby McGee yeah

    Lord I called him my lover, I called him my man
    I said I called him my lover just the best I can c’mon, c’mon
    Bobby now, c’mon Bobby McGee

    La da la la la, la da la la la la la
    Hey hey hey Bobby McGee yeah.
