    "Wagon Wheel" Lyrics:
    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, 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
    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
    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, 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
    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 got to 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, 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 Subscribe to Nettwerk's CZcams channel:

    Had a friend in the Marine Corps that loved this song and played it any chance he got. He ended up taking his life after our desperate to change his mind. Anyways a year goes by and a bunch of Marines and I are visiting some family in Maryland. Someone pulled out a guitar and in our drunken emotional states we all yelled this song into the wind as loud as we could. Probably 15-20 people yelling for our buddy, all drunk and crying. I come here every day for him and I can always smell the east coast ocean and pines. Rest in Peace 1994-2015

    The first time I heard this song was at an acoustic night open mic night at a coffee house in college, the gentleman who played it had just lost his father who had taught him this song and had given him the mandolin he played it on. He sang a lot of it straight but started to break down about about two thirds in. So did we. He struggled through the tears, playing his instrument beautifully, and everyone gave him a standing ovation when he finished. I'll remember that until the day I die.

    This was the first song I ever learned, I could sing every word to my dad and papaw when I was 5 or 6 years old. My papaw has since passed and my dad had a massive stroke and is currently on life support. I played him this song and he was able to squeeze and shake my hand. This song always brings back so many memories and every-time I hear it it’s like the first time again. It will always have a place in my heart.

    This song is so totally timeless. I’d always believed it came out in the 60s or 70s. Just found out it’s from 2004. I understand it’s purposefully retro sounding but it’s also just one of those songs that never gets old. Kinda like Mr. Brightside.

    I joined this year long volunteer program and met a girl. She is amazing. Has such a zest for life, and contagiously boundless joy for everything she does. She truly makes life better. She truly showed me how to enjoy life more. Some how she fell in love with me. And I fell in love with her. Half way through the program she was offered a job in DC. She took it. We tried to make long distance work. But it’s really not her thing. She just isn’t capable of it. So we’re done. It’s not our fault. Neither of us want it to be over. But it is. And I cant stand to have her be a part of my life knowing that she isn’t mine. So we don’t talk anymore. It’s killing me. I feel so disconnected from the world. I feel like I’m trying to feel an object with burnt fingertips. I know she hurts too, but she’s going to move on. Faster. More completely. She’s going to move on. Fall in love with another. And then they’ll be special. They’ll have her endless joy. I’ll just be memories.
    All I want is to share my day with her, tell her all about what’s going on. Share with her how I’m feeling what I’m thinking. Drink from the well of life with her. Feel it wash over my tongue and watch her reaction to how it tastes. To think that’s gone because of distance, because we’re at different stages of life. My present, at the cost of my future.
    She showed my this song. It’s her song to me

    This was my favorite song when I deployed to Afghanistan in 2012. My sergeant figured out how to input iPod music into our headsets.
    When we went through particularly...unpleasant areas...we would play this song.
    I remember accepting that I could die at any moment, but at least I have good music playing when it happens.
    Three of our soldiers got killed over that deployment. But as one of my buddies said,"three of us got killed, but all of us died in 2012. The rest of us are just still here."
    Almost 12 years later, and he wasn't wrong.
