Wagon Wheel (song)

Wagon Wheel is taken from the album "True Believers".

Lyrics
(Verse 1)

Heading 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 a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey, momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a south bound train

Hey, momma rock me

(Verse 2)

I'm running 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-getting me down

Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town, but I ain't turning back to living that old life no more

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey, momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a south bound train

Hey, momma rock me

(Verse 3)

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke

But he's a heading 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 she's the only one and if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey, momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a south bound train

Hey, momma rock me

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey, momma rock me (mama rock me, mama rock me)

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a south bound train

Hey, momma rock me (you can rock me, rock me)
