You know every now and then I think
You want me to go back and
Do something nice and rough
But there's just one thang
Heaven never, ever allows
Anything nice and rough
They only do things nice and easy
So we'll take the beginning of this song
And do it ... easy
And then we'll take the end
And do it .... easy as well
The way I'll do Cloud Mary ...

Left a good life on Terra Firma*
Belting out my songs
From behind a mike
But I never lost one minute of sleep
Worrying 'bout the fate
Of that rat b@st@rd !k&
Big wheel it keeps on turning
To the Cloud Mary that I'm yearning
And Im floating (floating)
Floating (floating)
Floating unto heaven

Pleased a lot of fans in Memphis
Caught a lot of pain
From an A-hole spouse
But you never heard the
BEST part of my singing
Till I flipped the bird
On that abusive louse

Big wheel it keeps on turning
To the foul place that Ike is burning
And hes roasting (roasting)
Roasting ( roasting)
Roasting in inferno

If you come up to the heavens
Betcha gonna find
Some people who give
You dont have to worry,
If you had no money
The people only care
About the way you lived

Big wheel keeps on turning
To the Cloud Mary that I'm yearning
And I'm floating (floating)
Floating (floating)
Floating to the heavens
