Lyrics:

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Headin' for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my harpoon out
Of my old dirty red bandana
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues

With those windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby's clappin' hands
We finally sang up every song that driver knew

Oh freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin'
But it's free

Oh feelin' good was easy, lord
When Bobby sang the blues
I'm feeling good was good enough for me
Bobby McGee

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'd done
And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near salinas, lord
I let her slip away
Looking for that home and I hope she'll find

I'll trade all of my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Oh freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
And nothin' left was all she left for me

Oh feelin' good was easy, lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
And Bobby McGee

Oh freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin'
But it's free

Oh feelin' good was...
