Left a good job in the city
Workin` for the man every night and day
Haven`t ever lost one minute of sleeping
Worried about the way things might have been
A big wheel keeps on turnin`
Proud Mary keeps on burnin`, rollin`, rollin`
Rollin` on a river
Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river
If you come down to the river
I betcha you`re gonna find some people who live
You don`t have to worry
`Cause you have no money
People along the river are happy to give
I said a big wheel keeps on turnin`
Proud Mary keeps on burnin`, rollin`, rollin`
Rollin` on a river
Rollin`, rollin`, rollin` on a river
