[G]
Busted flat in Van Rooch, waiting for a train
And I feel the nearest faded as [D] my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way into [G] New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
Ice playing soft while Bobby sang [C] the blues
When she walked through the sleeping town
I [G] was holding Bobby's candy man
We [D] sang every song that daddy knew
[C] Freedom is just another word [G] for nothing left to [D] lose
Nothing, I mean nothing, honey, if it ain't [G] free
Yeah, [C] feeling good was easy love [G] when he sang the blues
You [D] know, feeling good [D] was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [G] Bobby
[A] From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we've done
Yeah, Bobby, baby, kept me [A] home for a while
One day a Miss Selena snow horn, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home and I [D] hope he finds it
When I train on the mountains [A] for one single day
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom is just another word [A] for nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing, that's all that Bobby [A] left me
[D] But feeling good was easy love [A] when he sang the blues
[E] Yeah, feeling good was good enough for me
