The Rolling Stones - Proud Mary lyrics

You know, every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us Nice and easy but there's just one thing You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy We always do it nice and rough So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy Then we're gonna do the finish rough This is the way we do 'Proud Mary' And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river Listen to the story Left a good job in the city Working for the man every night and day And I never lost one minute of sleeping Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been Big wheel keep on turning Proud Mary keep on burning And we're rolling, rolling Rolling on the river Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans But I never saw the good side of the city Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen Big wheel keep on turning Proud Mary keep on burning And we're rolling, rolling Rolling on the river Say, we're rolling, rolling Rolling on the river I left a good job in the city Working for the man every night and day And I never lost one minute of sleeping Worrying 'bout the way things might have been Big wheel keep on turning Proud Mary keep on burning Rolling, rolling Rolling on the river Say, we're rolling, rolling Rolling on the river, the river I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis And I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans But I never saw the good side of the city 'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen Big wheel keep on turning Proud Mary keep on burning And we're rolling, so we're rolling And we're rolling on the river I tell you, we're rolling, rolling We're rolling on the river If you come down to the river I bet you gonna find some people who live And you don't have to worry if you got no money People on the river are happy to give Big wheel keep on turning Proud Mary keep on burning And we're rolling and we're rolling And we're rolling on the river Tell me one more time (Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river) (Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river) (Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river) (Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river) (Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
