Lyrics of Wagon wheel

Heading down south to the land of the pines.
I'm thumbing my way in the north caroline.
Staring up the road 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.

(chorus:)
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

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,
And i lost my money playing poker so i had to up and leave.
But i ain't turning back and living that old life no more.

(chorus)

Walkin' to the south out of roanoke,
I caught a trucker out of philly had a nice long toke.
But he's a heading west to the cumberland gap,
From 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.

(chorus)
