lyrics

Headin' down south to the land of the pines (Nikki solo)
I'm thumbin' my way into North Carolina
Starin' at the road and pray to God I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
So, Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey, mama rock me

I was runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now

Oh, north country winters keep a-gettin' me down
Lost my money playin' poker, so I had to up n leave
But I ain't going back to livin' that old life no more

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
So, rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey, mama rock me

I was walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
But he's a-headin' west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee

And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby callin' my name
and I know that she's the only one
And if I died in Raleigh, at least I will die free

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Hey, rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey, mama rock me

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me

(This is good, this is good
We need this kinda thing)
