Jeremy McComb - Wagon wheel lyrics

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
