Dan Patlansky - Wagon Wheel Lyrics

Rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me

Heading down south to the land of the pines
Throwing my way into North Carolina
Staring up the road
Pray to God I see headlights
Made the coast
17 hours
Picking me a bouquet of Dogwood flowers
And hoping for Riley 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 south bound train
Hey mama rock me

Coming from the cold
Up when you went
I's born to be fiddler in a hotel string band
My baby plays a guitar
I pick a banjo now
North country winters keep on getting me now
Lost some money playing poker
So I had to up and leave
I ain't turning back
To live in that 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 south bound train
Hey mama rock me

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 south bound train
Hey mama rock me

Welcome to the south
Without a road I know
Caught a trucker outta Philly
Had a nice long toke
He's heading west through Cumberland gap
Johnson city Tennassee
I gotta get a move on
Before the sun
Hear my baby calling and I know she's the only one
If I die riding
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 south bound train
Hey mama rock me

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 south bound train
Hey mama rock me
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
