Verse 1
A Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains
feelin’ nearly faded as my E7 jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Or A leans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sung the D blues,
With them windshield wipers slapping time,
and A Bobby clapping hands with mine
We E7 sang every song that driver A knew
Chorus
D Freedom’s just another word for A nothing left to lose
E7 Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’, but it’s A free
D Feeling good was easy, Lord, when A Bobby sang the blues
E7 Feeling good was good enough for me,
good enough for me and bobby Mc A Gee.
Verse 2
From the A coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my E7 soul
Standin’ right beside me, Lord, through everything I’d done
Every night she kept me from the A cold
Then somewhere near Selinas Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll D find
But I’d trade all my tomorrows for a A single yesterday
E7 holdin’ Bobby’s body next to A mine
Chorus
D Freedom’s just another word for A nothing left to lose
E7 Nothin’ left is all she left for A me
D Feeling good was easy, Lord, when A Bobby sang the blues
E7 Buddy that was good enough for me,
good enough for me and bobby Mc A Gee.
