Wagon Wheel

Headed down south to the land of the pines Thumbing my way into North Caroline Staring at the road and pray to God I see headlights Made it down the coast in 17 hours Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers But I'm a hoping for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Rock me mama any way you feel Hey hey mama rock me Rock me mama like the wind and the rain Rock me mama like a southbound train Hey hey mama rock me Running from the cold up in New England I was listening to some fiddle in this old time string band My baby plays the guitar, I pick the banjo now Oh the north country winters keep a getting me low Lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave But I ain't going back to living that old life no more So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Rock me mama any way you feel Hey hey mama rock me Rock me mama like the wind and the rain Rock me mama like a southbound train Hey hey mama rock me Walking to the south out of Roanoke I caught a trucker outta Philly had a nice long smoke He's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee Now I gotta get a move on praying for the sun I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Rock me mama any way you feel Hey hey mama rock me Rock me mama like the wind and the rain Rock me mama like a southbound train Hey hey mama rock me
