Wagon Wheel

Wagon Wheel

Hit it down south to the land of the pines

Coming my way into North Carolina

Staring at the road and pray to God I see headlights

Well I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

Picking you a bouquet of dogwood flowers

And I'm hoping to Raleigh I can see my baby tonight

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel

Rock me mama any way you feel

Hey mama rock me

Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain

Rock me, mama, like a southbound train

Hey, mama, rock me

Running from the cold up in New England

I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band

My baby plays the guitar, I pick a banjo now

Well, the North Country winters keep getting me down

Lost my money playing poker, so I had to up and leave

But I ain't turning back, living that old life no more

So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel

Rock me, mama, any way you feel

Hey, mama, rock me

Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain

Rock me, mama, like a southbound train

Hey, mama, rock me

Walkin' to the south, outta Roanoke

I caught a trucker outta Philly, had a nice long tote

He's a head west through the Cumberland Gap

Johnson City, Tennessee

Well I gotta get a move on before the sun

I hear my baby callin' my name and I know that she's the only one

And if I die in Raleigh, least I will die free

So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel

Rock me, mama, any way you feel

Hey, mama, rock me

Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain

Rock me, mama, like a southbound train

Hey, mama, rock me

Rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel

Rock me, mama, any way you feel

Hey, mama, rock me

Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain

Rock me, mama, like a southbound train

Hey, mama, rock me
