Wagon Wheel Lyrics

Wagon Wheel

Heading down south to the land of the pines

Im 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 Im 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

I was 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 up and leave

But I aint 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

Yeah, 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 hes 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 shes 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
