Desert flags in Batan Rouge, headin' for the train
Feel nearly fadin' again
Bobby found a diesel then, just before it rained
It was all the way to New Orleans
I took my hand about on my dirty red madonna
I want always have my buddy sing the blues
And that windshield water slappened hand and buddy grabbed a hand
He'd sing a tappy song that's right for me
Ohoho, freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' gained with nothing that is free
Ohoho, feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby's singing the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me, Lord, for every pain I done
And every night he kept me from the cold
Then some day near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
Lookin' for a home I hoped she'd find
But I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holding Bobby's body next to mine
Ohoho, freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' gained with nothing that is free
Ohoho, feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby's singing the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Ohoho, freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' there, he's always there for me
Ohoho, feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby's singing the blues
But he ever was good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Feel nearly fadin' again
Bobby found a diesel then, just before it rained
It was all the way to New Orleans
I took my hand about on my dirty red madonna
I want always have my buddy sing the blues
And that windshield water slappened hand and buddy grabbed a hand

Ohoho, freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
