Charlie Pride
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the train
Feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down,

Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues

With those 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
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standin’ right beside me Lord

Through everything I’ve done
And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll find

And I’d trade all of my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine

Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
