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