Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A church house, gin house
A schoolhouse, outhouse
On highway number 19
The people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, oh, Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City limits
Hey, Nutbush City (Limits)
[Verse 2]
25 was the speed limit
Motorcycles not allowed in it
Go to store on Friday
Go to church on Sunday
Call it Nutbush, yeah, Nutbush, oh, yeah
Call it Nutbush City limits (Nutbush)
Oh, Nutbush City limits (Nutbush)
Nutbush City limits (Nutbush)
[Verse 3]
I left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' about the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
[Verse 4]
I came to another place in Memphis
Pumped another tank down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen
[Verse 5]
Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin')
We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Yes, we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Big wheel keep on turnin' (Turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (Burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin')
We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Yes, we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Yes, we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Say, we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
I'm sayin' we're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
We're rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Oh, yeah
