S130 is not on
Not that I play that great but still in all
I ought to be able to hear it, you know what I mean
(Are you hearing it now?)
No
Now, it's too loud
I can't play that good
Am I getting my Texas accent back?
(I hope so)
Did I always sound like this, mean I
I hear myself on tape, I sound like... God
Wanna start that way
Ready
[Verse 1]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
That rode us all the way into New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
[Chorus]
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin', honey, if it ain't free
Yeah, feelin' good was easy, Lord, Bobby sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me, mm hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
[Verse 2]
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done
Said, Bobby baby, he kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
But he was lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
[Chorus]
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, Bobby sang the blues
I said feelin' good was good enough for me, mhm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
[Outro]
La da da la da da da, la da da da da da da

La da la da la da, la na na na da
La la la la la Bobby McGee yeah
La da da la la la la la la la la la, la na na la na na la la
Hey now Bobby lo no Bobby McGee yeah
Hey, I called him my lover, I called him my man
I said I called him my lover, did the best I can
I said now, come on Bobby, Lord
Come on, Bobby McGee, yeah
Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo
Hey hey hey Bobby McGee, yeah
That's when somebody else has to take over
