Wagon Wheel – Old Crow Medicine Show
Headed 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 hoping for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
Chorus
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound 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 north country winters keep a getting me now
Lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a turning back to live that old life no more
Chorus and Break
Walking to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
But he's a headed 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 he's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free
Chorus
