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