Nathan Evans - Wagon Wheel lyrics

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 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

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

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
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
