Left a good job in the city. Working for the Man, every night and day...

 But I never lost one minute of sleep, worrying about the way things might have been... BigWheel keep on turnin'. Proud Mary keep on burnin'.  Rollin rollin rollin on a river.

(Rolling on the river...)

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ! 

("cuz we never do nothing nice and easy!  We like it ... nice and rough!")
