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