📜 Lyrics
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for the train
Feelin' 'bout as faded as my jeans
Bobby flagged a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way into New Orleans
Then I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
Wth the windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands, we finally
Sang up every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy while Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everythin' I done
And every night she kept me from the cold, oh Bobby
And then one day near Salinas, I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy while Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Thank you very much
It's a long way from Österåker Prison
To New Orleans, Louisiana
But you got a lot in common
At Orleans Parish Prison
They got a wall around the place too
Feelin' 'bout as faded as my jeans
Bobby flagged a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way into New Orleans
Then I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
Wth the windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands, we finally
Sang up every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy while Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everythin' I done
And every night she kept me from the cold, oh Bobby
And then one day near Salinas, I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy while Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Thank you very much
It's a long way from Österåker Prison
To New Orleans, Louisiana
But you got a lot in common
At Orleans Parish Prison
They got a wall around the place too
