[G]
[C] [G]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin' 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 way to [G] New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I sang soft while Bobby sang [C] the blues
When she walked me slappin' [G] time
I was holdin' Bobby's candy man
[D] We sang every song that Java knew
[C] Freedom's just another [G] word for
Nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, I mean nothing, honey, [G] if it ain't free
La la, [C] yeah, feelin' good was easy
[G] La la, when he sang the blues
[D] You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [G] Bobby Ray
[A] From the Kentucky coal mine
To the California sun
[A] Hey Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul
[A] [E] Through all kinds of weather
Through everything we've done
Hey Bobby, baby, kept me [A] pullin' for a while
One day I miss him in his slum
I let him slip away
He's lookin' 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 holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
[Bm] [D] Freedom's just another word [A] for
Nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing, that's all that Bobby [A] left me
[D] But feelin' good was easy
La la, [A] when he sang the blues
[E] Hey feelin' good was good enough for me
[A] Good [E] enough for me and my Bobby [A] Ray
[E] La la-la-la-la-la-la
La la-la-la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la-la-la
