![]() ![]() I would really love to believe that this song was writing about weed, but I find a hard time believing that myself. Its stupid, pointless, and just plain sad to fight over the internet. Everyone on here is fully entitled to their own fucking opinions right? No one should been slammed just for thinking this song is about drugs. The fact of the matter is, this site is. Just the same, I'm know many of you all have to be tired of seeing a drug reference everytime you look up a songmeaning. I'm sure everyone is sick and tired of having to read endless one-sided opinions on why this song isn't about drugs. Seems like everytime I log on here all I see is people pointlessly bitching and fighting. ![]() General CommentI always thought this site was created as a means for analyzing, disscussing, and exploring different opinions, in order to gain a better understanding of a particular song. So what we have to do is to "rolling and rolling" on this river. ![]() I love this song, it can help a lot in different situations in my life. ![]() I think, this is the process how we start to hesitate about things and after that we just do it strong and confident (especially in the Tina Turner version).

He actually had no idea what it was about or what it meant. The inspiration was the words ‘Proud Mary.’ I didn’t write the song right away.” He shared in a Facebook post back in 2917, “After about a week, I finally had an inspiration and I wrote it down in my little music book. ![]()
