Wagon Wheel Lyrics by Jeremy McComb

My Side of Town

0

Headed down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbing my way into North Caroline
Staring at the road and pray to God I see headlights
Made it down the coast in seventeen hours
I'm picking me a bouquet of Dogwood flowers
I'm hoping for Raleigh 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 southbound train
Hey, mama Rock me
Running from the cold up in New England
I was listening' to some fiddle in this old time string band
My baby plays the guitar I pick the banjo now
North Country winters keep getting me low
Lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't going back to living' that old 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 southbound train
Hey, mama Rock me
Walking to the south out of Roanoke
Caught a trucker outta Philly had a nice long smoke
But he's headed west from the Cumberland Gap to
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
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 southbound train
Hey, mama Rock me
