Butterflied in Maton Rouge, headin' for the trainFeelin' nearly faded at Marquee'sBobby found the diesel down, just before it rainedTook us all the way to New OrleansI took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandannaI was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the bluesWith that windshield wiper slappin' time and Bobby clappin' handsWe finally sang up every song that driver knew Chorus:Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to loseAnd nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's freeFeelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the bluesBuddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGeeFrom the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sunBobby shared the secrets of my soulStandin' right beside me, through everything I've doneAnd every night he kept me from the coldThen somewhere near Salinas, I let him slip awayLookin' for the home I hope he'll findAnd I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterdayHoldin' Bobby's body next to mineFreedom's just another word for nothin' left to loseAnd nothin' left is all he left for meAh, feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the bluesBuddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGeeGood enough for me and my Bobby McGee, good enough for me and my Bobby McGeeI let him slip away, lookin' for that home I hope he'll findGood enough for me and my Bobby McGee, good enough for me and my Bobby McGeeGood enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
