Standin' right beside me through everything I've done
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Buddy, that was good enough for me
And every night he kept me from the cold
We finally sang up every song that driver knew
Took us all the way to New Orleans
Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Then somewhere near Salinas I let him slip away
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Enough for me and Bobby McGee
Nothin' left is all he left me, yeah
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Buddy, that was good enough for me
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Enough for me and Bobby McGee
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
Standin' right beside me through everything I've done
Then somewhere near Salinas I let him slip away
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
And Bobby clappin' hands
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Nothin' left is all he left me
And every night he kept me from the cold
Buddy, that was good enough for me
I let him slip away lookin' for the home I hope he finds
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
