Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
Standin' right beside me
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Searchin' for the home, I hope she'll find
La la la, me and Bobby McGee
To the California sun
And Bobby clappin' hands we finally
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Then somewhere near Salinas
With those windshield wipers slappin' time
La la la, me and Bobby McGee
Feelin' good was easy
Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was easy
Just before it rained
Lord, I let her slip away
And I'd give all my tomorrows
Nothin' ain't worth nothin but it's free
From the coal mines of Kentucky
Every night she kept me from the cold
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
Feelin' good was good enough for me
For a single yesterday
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Sung up every song that driver knew
Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Lord, through every thing I've done
Took us all away to New Orleans
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
La la la, me and Bobby McGee
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
