[G]
I'm going to sing a song called
Busted Flat in Baton Rouge
Waiting for a train
And I feel the news
Faded as [D] my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel dam
Just before it rained
That rode us all the way
[G] To New Orleans
I pulled my heart out
And in my dirty red bandana
I sang soft while Bobby sang the [C] blues
When she walked through slapping time
[G] I was holding Bobby's hand
And [D] we sang every song that drive the news
[C] Freedom is just another word [G] for
Nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, nothing, honey, if it [G] ain't free
[C] Yeah, feeling good was easy [G] love
When he sang the blues
[D] You know, feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [G] Bobby
[A] From the Kentucky coal mine
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
To everything we've done
Your Bobby, baby, kept me [A] from the cold
One day I'm near Salinas' lawn
I let him slip away
He's looking for that home
And [D] I hope he finds it
When I trade all of my tomorrows
[A] For one single yesterday
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
[D] Freedom is just another word [A] for
Nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing, that's all that [A] Bobby left me
[D] When he's feeling good was easy [A] love
When he sang the blues
[E] Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [A] Bobby
[E]
[B] [E]
