Old Crow Medicine – Wagon Wheel Chords

Headed down south to the land of the pines
And I’m thumbing my way into North Caroline
Staring up the road
And pray to God I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I’m a hoping 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

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south bound train
Hey, mama rock me

Running 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

Oh, the North country winters keep a getting me now
Lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain’t a turning back
To living that old life no more

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

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south bound train
Hey, mama rock me

Walking to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke
But he’s a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee

And I gotta get a move on fit for 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 any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me

Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south bound train
Hey, mama rock me
