Wagon Wheel

Headed down south to the land of the pinesAnd I'm thumbin' my way into North CarolineStarin' up the roadPray to God I see headlightsI made it down the coast in seventeen hoursPickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowersAnd I'm a hopin' for RaleighI can see my baby tonightSo rock me mama like a wagon wheelRock me mama any way you feelHey mama rock meRock me mama like the wind and the rainRock me mama like a south-bound trainHey mama rock meRunnin' from the cold up in New EnglandI was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringbandMy baby plays the guitarI pick a banjo nowOh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me nowLost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leaveBut I ain't a turnin' backTo livin' that old life no moreSo rock me mama like a wagon wheelRock me mama any way you feelHey mama rock meRock me mama like the wind and the rainRock me mama like a south-bound trainHey mama rock meWalkin' to the south out of RoanokeI caught a trucker out of PhillyHad a nice long tokeBut he's a headed west from the Cumberland GapTo Johnson City, TennesseeAnd I gotta get a move on before for the sunI hear my baby callin' my nameAnd I know that she's the only oneAnd if I die in RaleighAt least I will die freeSo rock me mama like a wagon wheelRock me mama any way you feelHey mama rock meRock me mama like the wind and the rainRock me mama like a south-bound trainHey mama rock me
