Verse 1
G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge waitin' for a train
Feelin' nearly faded as my
D
jeans
D
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
D7
Rode us all the way to New Or-
G
leans
C
G
I
G
pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was
G7
playin' soft while Bobby sang the
C
blues
C
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was
G
holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
D
We sang every song that driver
D7
knew
Chorus 1
C
Freedom's just another word for
G
nothin' left to lose,
D
Nothin' don't mean
D7
nothin' if it ain't
G7
free.
C
Feelin' good was easy, Lord,
G
when he sang the blues.
D
Feelin' good was good enough for me
D7
Good enough for me and Bobby Mc-
G
Gee

Verse 2
From the
A
Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my
E
soul.
Through
E
all kinds of weather, through everything we done,
Hey,
E7
Bobby's body kept me from the
A
cold
D
A
One
A
day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away,
He's
A7
lookin' for that home and I hope he
D
finds it.
But I'd
D
trade all my tomorrows for one
A
single yesterday,
To be
E
holdin' Bobby's body next to
E7
mine
Chorus 2
D
Freedom's just another word for
A
nothin' left to lose
E
Nothin', that's
E7
all that Bobby left
A
me, yeah
But
D
feelin' good was easy, Lord,
A
when he sang the blues
Hey
E
feelin' good was good enough for
E7
me, mm-hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby Mc-
A
Gee
