Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Busted flat in [C]Baton Rouge
Waitin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my [G]jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Rode us all the way to New Or[C]leans
I pulled my harpoon out of
my dirty red bandanna
And was playing soft
While Bobby sang the [F]blues
With them windshield
wipers slappin' time
[C]I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We [G]sang every song that [C]driver knew
[F]Freedom's just another word for
[C]nothin' left to los[G]e
Nothin' ain't worth nothin'
but it's free
[C]

[Verse 2]
[F]
Feelin' good was easy, Lord,
[C]When he sang the [G]blues
And feelin' good was
good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby
[C]McG[Db]ee

[Verse 3]
From Kentucky [Db]coal mines
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets
of my [Ab]soul
Through all kinds of weather, Lord
Through everything I done
Bobby baby kept me from the [Db]cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
I let him slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope he'll [Gb]find it
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows
For one [Db]single yesterday
[Ab]Holdin' Bobby's body next
[Db]to mine[Gb]
Freedom's just another word
[Db]for nothin' left to lose
[Ab]Nothin' left is all that Bobby left me[Db]

[Verse 4]
[Gb]
Feelin good was easy, Lord
[Db]When he sang the blues
[Ab]And buddy,
that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and

[Outro 1]
