Wagon Wheel Lyrics - Against Me!

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]
