Mad Mark Old Crow Medicine Show Lyrics provided by SongLyrics.

Headed down south to the land of the pines And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline Starin' up the road 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 anyway 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 Runnin' from the cold up in New England I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband My baby plays the guitar I pick a banjo now Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave But I ain't a turnin' back To livin' that old life no more So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Rock me mama anyway 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 Walkin' 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 before 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 So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Rock me mama anyway 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 Get the embed code Nathan Carter - Wagon Wheel Album Lyrics1.

As Rucker remembers, "They wanted some money, and they got it.

That would be a great country song.

" Rucker also previously had had some experience with crediting Dylan on a song he'd performed.

When you go to a at a camp fire, you'll hear songs that are 40 years old that a kid with a hemp leash just learned, like "" by , and then you're going to hear "Wagon Wheel.

So if we were going to do it, we had to make it a 1950s country song.

"It's another interesting chapter in the history of a song that's slowly working its way toward American classic status.

" As Old Crow Medicine Show's signature song, "Wagon Wheel" is in some ways bigger than the group itself —even though the song's origins predate formation of the musical act.
