[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
The road us all the way [G] to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I sang soft while Bobby [C] sang the blues
When she whopped her slappin' time
[G] I told him Bobby's standing mad
[D] We sang every song that Javi knew
[C] Freedom's just another word [G] for
Nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, I mean nothing, honey, if it [G] ain't free
Na-na, [C] yeah, feeling good was easy
[G] Now, when he sang the blues
[D] You know, feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [G] Bobby
From [A] the Kentucky coal mine
To the California sun
[A] Hey, Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
Through everything we've done
[A] You, Bobby, baby, [E] kept me [A] from the cold
One day I'm near Salinas' log
I let him slip away
He's looking for that home
And [D] I hope he finds it
But I trained all of my criminals
For [A] one single yesterday
To [E] be holding Bobby's body next to mine
[D] Freedom's 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
[A] Now, when he sang the blues
[E] Hey, feeling good was good enough for me [A] Mm-hmm
[E] Good enough for me and my Bobby
