Lyrics

Start

Verse 1

Started out in Tulsa with my old guitar

Playing blues and boogie in a downtown bar

Found my way to Memphis knew I'd travel far

Following the music like a shooting star

Pre-Chorus

Late night rhythm flowing

Through these southern veins

Gospel spirit showing

Breaking through the chains

Chorus

Rolling down the river on the Delta Queen

Living out a dream I never thought I'd seen

Sweet Missouri moonlight dancing on the stream

Rolling down the river on the Delta Queen[Chorus]

Rolling down the river on the Delta Queen

Living out a dream I never thought I'd seen

Sweet Missouri moonlight dancing on the stream

Rolling down the river on the Delta Queen

Verse 2

Cotton fields are swaying in the evening breeze

Riverboat wheels turning through the mysteries

Old piano playing those St Louis keys

Taking me wherever this river leads

Pre-Chorus

Through the misty morning

Past the break of day

Keep this boat a rolling

Till we find our way

Chorus

Rolling down the river on the Delta Queen

Living out a dream I never thought I'd seen

Sweet Missouri moonlight dancing on the stream

Rolling down the river on the Delta Queen[Bridge]

Like a rolling stone from Arkansas

Got the blues from Memphis deep in my heart

These southern nights gonna take me far

With this piano truth I'm bound to start

Pre-Chorus

Feel that rhythm burning

Music in my soul

Keep these wheels turning

Rock and roll

Chorus

Rolling down the river on the Delta Queen

Living out a dream I never thought I'd seen

Sweet Missouri moonlight dancing on the stream

Rolling down the river on the Delta Queen

End
