[Verse]
GBusted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' near as faded as my D7jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way into New OrGleansC  G  
I Gpulled my harp out of my dirty red bandana
I's playin' soft while BG7obby sang the Cblues
Windshield wipers Cslappin' time, I wGas holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
D7We sang every song that driver knew
[Chorus]
CFreedom's just another word for Gnothin' left to lose
D7Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't Gfree
And Cfeelin' good was easy, lord, oh, Gwhen he sang the blues
You know D7feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGGee
(key change)
[Verse]
From the AbKentucky coal mines to the California sun
Yeah AbBobby shared the secrets of my Eb7soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the Abcold
One day up near Salinas, lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that Ab7home and I hope he Dbfinds it
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one Absingle yesterday
To be Eb7holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
