If it sounds country man That's what it is It's a country song, yeah, okay One, two, three, four One, two, three, four Busted flat in Baton Rouge, and headin' for the trains 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 them windshield wipers slappin' time And Bobby clappin' hands, we finally sang up Every song that driver knew 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 From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done Every night she kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas lord, I let her slip away Lookin' for the home, I hope she'll find And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' left is all she left for me Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Buddy, that was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee La la la... Me and Bobby McGee La la la... Me and Bobby McGee La la la... Me and Bobby McGee La la la...
