Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
DG
And rode us all the way to New Orleans
GG
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
GC
I's playing soft while Bobby sung the blues, n-yeah
CG
Windshield wipers slapping time I's, holding Bobby's hand in mine
D
We sang every song that driver knew
CG
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose
DG
Nothing, I mean nothing honey if it ain't free, no no
CG
Yeah feeling good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
D
You know feeling good was good enough for me
DGA (muzikale break en verhoogt naar 'A')

Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
