Wagon Wheel (Single Version)

Heading down south to the land of the pines

I'm thumbing my way into North Caroline

Staring up the road and pray to God

I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours

Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers

And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh

I can see my baby tonight

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a south bound train

Hey momma 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 a guitar

I pick a banjo now

Oh north country winters

Keep a-getting me down

Lost my money playing poker

So I had to leave town

But I ain't turning back to living

That old life no more

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a south bound train

Hey momma rock me

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke

I caught a trucker out of Philly

Had a nice long toke

But he's a heading west

From the Cumberland gap

To Johnson City Tennessee

And I gotta get a move on before the sun

I hear my baby calling my name

And I know that she's the only one

And if I died in Raleigh at least I will die free

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a south bound train

Hey momma rock me

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey momma rock me

Momma rock me

Momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a south bound train

Hey momma you'll rock me

Rock me
