Lyrics

busted flat in baton rouge, 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, 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 every thing i done, every night she kept me from the cold, then somewhere near salinas lord, i let her slip away, searchin' for the home, i hope she'll find, and i'd give all my tomorrows, for a single yesterday, holdin' bobby's body close to mine, 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
