Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
On us feelin' ears faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
When she'll wipe her slappin' time
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that Java knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', I mean nothin', honey, if it ain't free
No, no, feelin' good was easy, love, it was easy now
When it sang a blues
You know feelin' good was good
Nothin' left to lose
Good enough for me and my Bobby
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we've done
Bobby, baby, kept me from the cold
One day I met Selena Sloan, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it
But I trade all of my tomorrows
For one single yesterday to be holding Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothin', that's how Bobby left me
But a feeling good was easy when he sang the blues
A feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Now when I call up my lover
Call up my man I said I call up my lover
Did the best I can come on
