Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained

Took us all the way to New Orleans
C majorC
I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandanna
                    FF
I was Blowing' sad while Bobby sang the blues
     FF
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
  C majorC
And Bobby clappin' hands

We finally sang up ever song that driver knew

FF                C majorC
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
