    "Wagon Wheel" Lyrics:
    Headed down south to the land of the pines
    And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
    Starin' up the road
    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 south-bound 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 the guitar
    I pick a banjo now
    Oh, the North country winters keep a-gettin' me now
    Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
    But I ain't a-turnin' back
    To livin' that old life no more
    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 south-bound 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-headed west from the Cumberland Gap
    To Johnson City, Tennessee
    And I got to 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 die 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 south-bound train
    Hey, mama rock me Subscribe to Nettwerk's RUclips channel:

    Had a friend in the Marine Corps that loved this song and played it any chance he got. He ended up taking his life after our desperate to change his mind. Anyways a year goes by and a bunch of Marines and I are visiting some family in Maryland. Someone pulled out a guitar and in our drunken emotional states we all yelled this song into the wind as loud as we could. Probably 15-20 people yelling for our buddy, all drunk and crying. I come here every day for him and I can always smell the east coast ocean and pines. Rest in Peace 1994-2015

      All the country songs I've written sound like shitty covers in my voice. My dad's a former hard drug dealer, ex biker, and certified Mountain Man. He also suffers from a clear high tenor voice. Tough break!

    The first time I heard this song was at an acoustic night open mic night at a coffee house in college, the gentleman who played it had just lost his father who had taught him this song and had given him the mandolin he played it on. He sang a lot of it straight but started to break down about about two thirds in. So did we. He struggled through the tears, playing his instrument beautifully, and everyone gave him a standing ovation when he finished. I'll remember that until the day I die.

    This was the first song I ever learned, I could sing every word to my dad and papaw when I was 5 or 6 years old. My papaw has since passed and my dad had a massive stroke and is currently on life support. I played him this song and he was able to squeeze and shake my hand. This song always brings back so many memories and every-time I hear it it’s like the first time again. It will always have a place in my heart.

      Ya, my 4.5 year old daughter loves this tune. She thinks the word “Toke” sounds funny, but loves the idea of rocking with mama. Kids are the best and this song is the best by a country mile. Something beautiful for all agars and emotional states.

I meet a lot of people from all walks of life that make, music, we can all enjoy. most of the time, cover tunes in the back yard with no FX are the best and have more soul. what im saying is it is music, its not ment to be hated on. enjoy it or change the channel.
