Here is the lyrics of the song Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show:

Headed down south to the land of the pinesAnd I’m thumbin’ my way into North Caroline
Starin’ up the roadPray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hoursPickin’ me a bouquet of dogwood flowersAnd I’m a hopin’ for RaleighI can see my baby tonight
So rock me mama like a wagon wheelRock me mama anyway you feelHey mama rock meRock me mama like the wind and the rainRock me mama like a southbound trainHey mama rock me
Runnin’ from the cold up in New EnglandI was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string bandMy baby plays the guitarI pick a banjo now
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin’ me nowLost my money playin’ poker so I had to up and leaveBut I ain’t a turnin’ backTo livin’ that old life no more

So rock me mama like a wagon wheelRock me mama anyway you feelHey mama rock meRock me mama like the wind and the rainRock me mama like a south-bound trainHey mama rock me
Walkin’ due south out of RoanokeI caught a trucker out of PhillyHad a nice long tokeBut he’s a headed west from the Cumberland GapTo Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on before the sunI hear my baby callin’ my nameAnd I know that she’s the only oneAnd if I die in RaleighAt least I will die free
So rock me mama like a wagon wheelRock me mama anyway you feelHey mama rock meRock me mama like the wind and the rainRock me mama like a south-bound trainHey mama rock me
