And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
La da la da la la
La da la da la da
Hey now Bobby now
Lord, I call him my lover
La da da la da da
My Bobby McGee, yeah
We sang every song that driver knew, yeah
Lo da la lo da la lo
My Bobby McGee, yeah
Nothin', that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
It's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Bobby McGee, yeah
La da la da la da la da la da
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
Hey now Bobby McGee, yeah
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
La da da la da da
La da da, la da da da
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I said I call him my lover
Call him my man
La da da
Nothin', don't mean nothin' honey if it ain't free, no no
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Did the best I can, c'mon
Lo da lo da la lo da la
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
La da da da la da la da
But if feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Hey, my Bobby, Lord
Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, mm-hmm
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
Hey, my Bobby, Lord
La da la da la da la
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
La da la da la da la da
La da da, la da da
It rode us all the way into New Orleans
La da la da da
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
La la lo la la lo la la
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
Hey, hey, hey
Bobby McGee, yeah
La da la da la da
La da da da da da da
