Wagon Wheel Lyrics - Old Crow Medicine Show

Headed down south to the land of the pines 

And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline 

Starin' up the road 

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 anyway you feel 

Hey mama rock me 

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain 

Rock me mama like a south-bound 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 the guitar 

I pick a banjo now 

Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now 

Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave 

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 anyway you feel 

Hey mama rock me 

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain 

Rock me mama like a south-bound 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 headed 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 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 south-bound train 

Hey mama rock me
