Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Took us all the way to New Orleans
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Bobby's body kept me from the cold
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Holding Bobby's body close to mine
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
I took my harpon out of my dirty red bandanna
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Nothin' was all she left for me
Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Standing right beside me, Lord, in everything I done
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blue
We finally sang near every song that driver knew
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Lookin' for that home, I hope she finds
Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues

And Bobby flagged the diesel down, just before it rained
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
