For one single yesterday
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
When he sang the blues
And I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Hey now Bobby, Bobby, Bobby McGee, yeah
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Come on, hey Bobby now, hey Bobby McGee, yeah
Nothin' and it's all that Bobby left me, yeah
Lord I call you my lover
I said I call you my lover just as fast as I can
I was holdin' bobby's hand in mine
I call you my man
And we sang every song that driver knew
One day out near Salinas, Lord
'Cause I'll trade all my tomorrows
Now Bobby baby helped me hold it over
I let him slip away
Bobby McGee, yeah
Wind shield wipers slappin' time
And feeling good was easy Lord
Now I pulled my harpoon and my dirty red bandanna
Just before it rained
Bobby McGee
Through everything we done
And freedom was just another word for nothin' left to lose
Bobby flagged the diesel down
When he sang the blues
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Nothin's and that's all that bobby left me, yeah
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
And wrote a song on the way to New Orleans
And freedom was just another word for nothin' left to lose
But I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Hey now Bobby, Bobby, Bobby McGee, yeah
And feeling good was easy Lord
Through all kinds of weather
Now Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
