Clay Underwood - Wagon Wheel lyrics

rate me

(Bob Dylan / Jay Secor)

Headed down south to the land of the pines,

Thumbin' my way into North Caroline,

Starin' down the road, pray to God I see headlights,

Made it down the coast in 17 hours,

I'm pickin' me a bouquet of Dogwood flowers,

And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight.

(Chorus)

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel,

Rock me mama any way you feel,

Mmmmm, mama rock me.

Yeah, rock me mama like the wind and the rain,

Rock me mama like a southbound train,

Mmmmm, mama rock me.

Wooo.

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,

Whoa, north country winters keep a gettin' me,

An I lost my money playin' poker, so I had to up and leave,

But I ain't a goin' back, to livin' that old life no more.

(Chorus)

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel,

Rock me mama any way you feel,

Mmmmm, mama rock me.

Oooh, rock me mama like the wind and the rain,

Rock me mama like a southbound train,

Mmmmm, mama rock me.

Rock on.

Walkin' to the south, outa Roanoke,

Caught a trucker outa Philly had a nice long toke,

But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap,

To Johnson City, Tennessee,

An I got to get a move on, way 'fore 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.

( Chorus)

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel,

Rock me mama any way you feel,

Mmmmm, mama rock me.

Oooh, rock me mama like the wind and the rain,

Rock me mama like a southbound train,

Mmmmm, mama rock me.

(Instrumental)
