                       Busted    flat in   Baton Rouge,           headin'   for  a   train,
                       From the  Ken-      tucky coal mines to the California        sun ,

   feelin'   nearly      faded    as        my    jeans.
   Bobby     shared the  secrets  of        my    soul.

   Bobby     thumbed a   diesel   down,                just before it rained. 
Through all kinds of     weather,          through everything we       done,

   Rode us   all the     way to   New      Orleans.
Yeah, Bobby baby         kept me from      the    cold.

   I pulled my harpoon        out of my        dirty     red bandanna             and  was
   One day  near Sa-     linas, Lord, I        let him slip away.                 She's

   playin' soft   while  Bobby     sang the    blues.                          With  them
   lookin' for    that   home, and I hope she finds it.                        I'd   trade

   Windshield wipers     slappin'  time and    Bobby's   clappin'    hands we  fin'lly
   all  of   my    tom-  orrows, for a         single yester-        day,      to   be

   sang  up  ev'ry       song that driver      knew.
