Wagon Wheel Lyrics

Jeremy Mccomb Wagon Wheel

Headed down south to the land of the pines,
I'm thumbing my way into North Caroline,
Staring at the road and pray to God I see headlights,
Made it down the coast in seventeen hours,
I'm picking me a bouquet of Dogwood flowers,
I'm hoping for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight

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 southbound train,
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,
North Country winters keep 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 anyway
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

Walking to the south out of Roanoke,
Caught a trucker outta Philly had a nice long smoke,
But he's headed west from the Cumberland Gap to
Johnson City Tennessee,
Now I gotta get a move on before 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 anyway
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
