Wagon Wheel

Headin' down south to the land of the pines
 I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
 Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights
 I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
 Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
 And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
 So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
 Rock me mama any way you feel
 Hey... mama rock me
 Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
 Rock me mama like a southbound train
 Hey... mama rock me
 ♪
 Runnin' 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-gettin' me down
 Lost my money playin' poker, so I had to leave town
 But I ain't a-turnin' back to livin' that old life no more
 So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
 Rock me mama any way you feel
 Hey... mama rock me
 Yeah, rock me mama like the wind and the rain
 Rock me mama like a southbound train
 Hey... mama 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-headin' west from the Cumberland Gap
 To Johnson City, Tennessee
 And I gotta get a move on before the sun
 I hear my baby callin' 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 mama like a wagon wheel
 Rock me mama any way you feel
 Hey... mama rock me
 Oh, rock me mama like the wind and the rain
 Rock me mama like a southbound train
 Hey... mama rock me
 So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
 Rock me mama any way you feel (oh, I wanna feel)
 Hey... mama rock me
 Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
 Rock me mama like a southbound train
 Hey... mama rock me
