G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' nearly as faded as my
D7
jeans
D7
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way into New Or
G
leans
I
G
pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I's playin' soft while
G7
Bobby sang the
C
blues
C
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was
G
holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
D7
We sang every song that driver knew
Chorus
C
Freedom's just another word for
G
nothin' left to lose
D7
Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't
G
free
And
C
feelin' good was easy, lord, oh,
G
when he sang the blues
You know
D7
feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mc
G
Gee
A
From the
A
Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my
E7
soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the
A
cold
One
A
day up near Salinas, lo-ord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that
A7
home and I hope he
D
finds it
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one
A
single yesterday
To be
E7
holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Chorus
D
Freedom's just another word for
A
nothin' left to lose
E7
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left
A
me
Well,
D
feelin' good was easy, lo-o-ord,
A
when he sang the blues
And
E7
feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mc
A
Gee yeah
