G G/D G G/D G G/D G G/D
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train,

I took my har - poon out of my dirty red ban - danna,
G G/D G G/B C C/E
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues,
C C/E C C/E C C/E G G/D G
With those windshield wipers slapping time, and...Bobby clapping hands,

We finally sung up every song that driver knew! | / / / / |

Freedom, just a - nother word for... nothing left to lose,
