[chordsandlyrics]
[G]Busted flat in Baton Rouge heading the trains
Feeling nearly faded as my [D]jeans
[D]Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orl[G]eans
[G]I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sang the [C]blues
With them windshield wipers slapping time and [G]Bobby clapping hands
We finally [D]sang up every song that driver [G]knew
Chorus
[C]Freedom’s just another word for [G]nothing left to lose
[D]Nothing ain’t worth nothing but it’s [G]free
[C]Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [G]Bobby sang the blues
[D]Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby [G]McGee[/chordsandlyrics]

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing 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
Searchin’ for the home I hope she’ll find
And I’d give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holding Bobby’s body next to mine
