Il testo della Wagon wheel

Darius Rucker

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

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 down
I lost my money playing poker so i had to leave town
But i ain't turning back to living that old life no more

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 from the cumberland gap
To johnson city, tennessee
And 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 died in raleigh at least i will die free

(2x)
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
