Gonna Find Me A Substitute

Left a good job in the city

Working for the man ev'ry night and day

Then I never lost a minute of sleep

When worrying 'bout the way that things might have been

Big wheels keep on turning

Proud Mary keeps on burning

Rolling rolling rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

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 a river boat queen

Big wheels keep on turning

Proud Mary keeps on burning

Rolling rolling rolling on the river

If you come down to the river

Betcha gonna find the people who live

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

People on the river are happy to give

Big wheels keep on turning

Proud Mary keeps on burning

Rolling rolling rolling on the river
