LYRICS

[ harmony vocal - Jackson Browne ]
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 the way to New Orleans
I pulled my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With the windshield whipers 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

[ harmonica ]
From the coal mines 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
I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday holdin' her body next to mine
Freedom's just another word...
Lalala lalala me and Bobby McGee lalala lalala me and Bobby McGee
