Album: The Best Of Creedence Clearwater Revival
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a riverboat-queen
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry, well you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
