Wagon Wheel

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 the banjo now Oh, north country winters keep a-gettin' me down Lost my money playin' poker So I had to leave town I ain't turnin' back To livin' that old life no morе [Chorus] So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel Rock me mama any way you feel Hеy... mama rock me Rock me mama like the wind and the rain Rock me mama like a southbound train Hey... mama rock me [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 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
