[G] [C] [G]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I feel the news faded as [D] my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the [G] way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing soft while Bobby sang [C] the blues
Windshield wipers slapping [G] time as holding Bobby's tainted mask
[D] We sang every song that daddy knew
[C] Freedom is just another [G] word for nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, I mean nothing, honey, [G] if it ain't free
[C] Feeling good was easy [G] when he sang the blues
[D] Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for [G] me and my Bobby
From [A] the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
[A]
Bobby shared the secrets of [E] my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we've done
[A] Your Bobby baby [E] kept [A] me from the world
One day I missed Celine's love, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home [D] and 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 [D] mine
Freedom is just another word [A] for nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing, that's all that Bobby [A] left me
[D] Honey, feeling good was [A] easy that long when he sang the blues
[E] Feeling good was good enough for me
[A] [E] Good [Ab] enough [A] for me and my Bobby
