Left a good job in the city
workin' for The Man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin
Worryin' bout the way things
might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep 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 Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'...
Rollin`,
