Proud Mary Lyrics - Singles - Used Cars

(J. Fogerty) 

Left a good job in the city 

Workin' for The Man ev'ry night and day 

And I never lost one minute of sleepin' 

Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been 

CHORUS: 

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 the river boat queen 

CHORUS 

If you come down to the river 

Bet you gonna find some people who live 

You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money 

People on the river are happy to give
