AGAINST ME! - Wagon Wheel lyrics

rate me

Heading down south to the land of the pines<br />

I'm thumbing my way in the North Caroline<br />

Staring up the road pray to God I see headlights<br />

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours, <br />

Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers<br />

And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh, <br />

So I can see my baby tonight<br />

<br />

<br />

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel, <br />

Rock me momma any way you feel<br />

Hey... momma rock me<br />

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain, <br />

Rock me momma like a south bound train<br />

Hey... momma rock me<br />

<br />

Running from the cold up in New England.<br />

I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band<br />

My baby plays a guitar I pick a banjo now, <br />

Oh north country winters keep a getting me<br />

And I lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave<br />

But I ain't turning back and living that old life no more<br />

<br />

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel, <br />

Rock me momma any way you feel<br />

Hey... momma rock me<br />

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain, <br />

Rock me momma like a south bound train<br />

Hey... momma rock me<br />

<br />

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke, <br />

I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke.<br />

But he's a heading west to the Cumberland gap, <br />

From Johnson City, Tennessee.<br />

Now I gotta get a move on before the sun, <br />

I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one.<br />

And If I die in Raleigh at least I will die free. <br />

<br />

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel, <br />

Rock me momma any way you feel<br />

Hey... momma rock me<br />

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain, <br />

Rock me momma like a south bound train<br />

Hey... momma rock me
