[Intro]
Alright

[Verse 1]
Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
But I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

[Chorus]
Big wheel keeps on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah
I said

[Verse 2]
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
Till I hitched a ride on the river boat Queen

[Chorus]
Big wheel keeps on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
[Refrain]
Keep on rolling, yeah, alright

[Verse 3]
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you don't have no money
People on the river are happy to give

[Chorus]
The big wheel keeps on turning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Keep on rolling

[Outro]
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Keep on rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Keep on rolling, keep on rolling on the river, on the river
