Against Me! - Wagon Wheel Lyrics

Devastated this isn't on Spotify

Listened to this every weekend driving up to see my girlfriend (now wife) while she was in college.
2010-2013

Very nostalgic to me

Why does this exist? I like it. I’m also confused.

3019 and i just found against me done this?? Fuck yeah.

Just turned 22, listening to this song while smoking a bowl, life is good🤘😎

Badass!

i love this song😭

HOLY SHIT YES this is such a great tune for them to cover

How have I never fucking heard this cover. I'm so angry right now.

I’m sitting on my porch, drinking apple juice out of a metal mug after a rain storm, listening to this. Life is good.

The top 2 comments are almost evenly matched. I always check whos winning when I listen to this 😍

Bob Dylan. Would love this.

Dad gum it...that's a good cover. Cheers to against me

SO MUCH BETTER than the heavily auto tuned crap I just heard!

After reading some of these comments, the question must be asked... how do some of you get through day to day? Without getting your ass kicked or getting hit by a bus due to your own stupidity? Serious question

HOLY FUCKING SHTTTTT.....rhis is amazing....almost as good as the orginal....old crow OG not that other shit

School sux

Laura's music saved my life, I love her so much, met her about a year ago. I remember singing this drunk at folk sessions but never knowing the name of the song, then I find AM!'s version and now my life is complete :)

♥️💙💚🧡💜

This is amazing.

This is the best cover of this song

Every once in a while I'll come to this song late at night alone and cry while I think about how things use to be so much better. Tonight's one of those nights.

Truth be told, I'd never listened to this whole song. This song is amazing. Good stuff! Hows the rest of the music by this band?

Temiken this is only a cover.

Amazing.. there are no words

1st song I heard by them. I love bluegrass but ran into an amazing band

I have no idea how it happened but I have always had this song in my iphone music but now can’t find it or find it in iTunes ??????

I heard about Against Me in Bruce Springsteen's autobiography, "On the Road."

Dimitry Raskolnikov I gotta read that. When I saw them they had Max Weinberg’s kid on drums

Can't find on spotify! Help

I'm so glad to know this cover exists. Hell the song in general. I just happened to link that video with the guy who finds himself in the country bar and they're playing that Hootie cover and my friend showed me this and my whole world has changed. I get chills every time I listen to this.

From cm punk

Heading down south to the land of the pines
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-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, momma rock me
I'm running 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-getting me down
Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town
But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Hey, rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, momma rock me
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
Caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
But he's a heading west from the Cumberland gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on before 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 momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me
Oh, rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey momma rock me
Oh, so rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey, momma rock me (mama rock me, mama rock me)
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey, ey yeah momma rock me (you can rock me, rock me)

best cover ever of wagon wheel

One of my daughter's friends posted this on facebook as a tribute the day she died. Rips me apart every time I hear it. Fits her perfectly. Love you Felicity....😭💚

Whomst thine fucketh is this singing

LemonyRabbit Tom Gabe > Laura Jane Grace

My childhood was surrounded by this song, but this cover makes those memories feel a little safer to think on

WOW i am s o f t. well, anyway, this is on repeat. alhamdulilah

Why hasn't my new wave album got this song on???

because it isn't actually on new wave. IIRC it was recorded for a charitable project and was released in 2005 - 2 years before the release of new wave.

Nice nice cover!!! similar to Springsteen 's i'm going down anyway

Im gonna be an 80 year old man and this song is still gonna fuck me right up. :(

This shit blows fucking hard

Still better the darius Rucker

way better.

This song reminds me of my sister who passed away 2 weeks ago. She travelled by hopping trains ,hitching rides and busses. Was one of her favorite songs. Hearing those first few notes makes me start to tear up and makes me think of her. Miss you Lis, rest in peace my beautiful sister.

Im sorry shes gone from you but now she lives within you so you have to live up to it

Sorry for your loss. Hope this year has allowed you to feel a bit better 💪🏻

Thank you for sharing, RIP.

Pints of Guinness make you strong has the same effect on me for a very similar reason.

you're in my thoughts yoyo. it's a lovely song

I can't decide on whether I like this version or Darius Ruckers version better they're both really good covers

im torn because i absolutely fuckin hate this song but this is a pretty good cover??

I did a Cover for Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers mash up with Wagon Wheel. Its pretty bad ass.

Beautiful cover

this song sucks my friends found someone dead near a wagon wheel, WTF?

okay, Against Me! actually did an amazing job. it's as dirty as it should be.

The very first time I heard this song was at a memorial service for someone who died waaaaaay too young. His friends that were in a band performed this in his honour, and it was very much like this version.

Such a beautiful voice.

so the chords for this song are G, D, Em, C. but during the chorus, when he sings "heyyyyy momma rock me", it sounds like he goes from G to another chord that isn't D. anybody else hear this?

she was a southern belle and I was a teenage anarchist. we compromised and danced to this at our wedding.

Good compromise! A nice nod to your respective personalities without being overly obvious if someone isn't already aware.

That is beautiful. I was also a teenaged anarchist, and finding this song was the start of a strange journey towards discovering that I could find beauty and perspective in any genre of music.

And then did you switch?

that's beautiful

Listening to this reminds me of the good ol' days before I was diagnosed with depression. I only now realize how happy I was back then. Life was so fucking good, and I was too stupid to realize it. Funny how life works that way. I wish you could know when you're living in the good old days before you leave them.

For my money, the best recorded version of this song to date. And that's a lot of competition. Thanks, Laura and thanks holleygk1! Peace! (A)(E)

This is the best acoustic, I still think OCMS has the best version of this song overall.

Headed down south to the land of the pines,
I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road,
Pray to God I see headlights

Oh, 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 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 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 fit for 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

be in tulsa with green day in march

My father's version of this song will always be the most important to me, but, this is a close 2nd.

I want to marry to this song!.. So did not know it was covered by against me! Always remember, pints of Guinness makes you stronger!

Ryan McClenaghan True...I also just discovered it. I wish you all the best! - Dante

WTFFFFFFFFFF It's 2016 and I'm just NOW learning Against Me covered "Wagon Wheel"???

same late-wagon, dudemon

2019 and I've been obsessing over Wagon Wheel song for months only to just find out my fav fucking band covered it

Halfway through 2019 for me. Why the fuck didn't one of you tell me about this. ASSHOLES.

Technically not an Against Me! song, Laura did the song for a charity album put out by Fat Wreck Chords.

John Martinez ditto. Except 2019.

this is a beast cover!!!😍

Almost 2 million views.

pulled this up a first time brain melting into the windshield of the tower truck plowing through snowy roads in the middle of the prairie, you are tired and hungry need some whiskey to quit shaking then you find a badass cover to rage out and warm up to. been off the road three years now, hardest but best decision ever made

what are you talking about.

@Brendan Blier trucking

Those are certainly all words

saw these guys at riot fest. awesome set!!!!

How did I not know this existed, eeeeee!

My favorite cover.

😉☺

😉☺

I miss you Xavi, RIP.

terrible

Their version is the best

+Tj Lutkevich I agree. Much better than OCMS. It sounds so much more honest. That hick sound always comes off as a cartoon type of sound to me.

+Jeff Martin Bob Dylan is, and always will be, the master though.

I miss you.fuck/

i feel you dude

I miss Tom, back before he lost his mind.

MountainIce007 that's pretty shitty. You should be ashamed. You have no right to dictate the way someone feels inside.

She is still fuckin amazing. Just saw them open for Bad Religion. She stole the show.

<3 against me and this is one of the best covers ever!!!!!

This is the only cover I'll accept.

I mean, a lot of people do cover it, but it's not like a traditional song that we've lost track of it's origins. It was definitely written by Dylan and one of the folks Old Crowe. But, yeah, a traditional in the making for sure

Try Darius Rucker. His voice is amazing!! But this one is also perfect.

Then you havent heard Holy Diver done by Killswitch Engage

LOL @ the punk rock police. Who the fuck are you guys?

RIGHT?! Nothing more punk rock than policing the opinions and individuality of others.

+Dunbar Dunbaro thank you! Finally you get it!

if you're punk you can say this, but if you're not....

Yo.. Darius Rucker is a piece of trash... .. He did absolutely nothing to deserve any royalties....or even recognition..for performing this song... This one deserves credit for sure.. Im pretty sure Bob Dylan was the mastermind.. Darius Rucker is the washed up. Sellout pullin the minority card for a soung he didnt write.. Didnt play any instruments nd dressin like hes country... Can i get a check nd a music video that pays for singing karaoke in a costume s yeh and old crow med show does it to

Mike Minrod. Right on, you said what i was thinking. Every time i hear that version i feel like im got to throw up.

It's funny how people think against me sold out as if their earlier stuff was some sort of quintessential punk. Their earlier stuff was pop from the start. 

Most of you you-tubers wouldn't know punk rock if it bit you in the ass. 

I'll close and say I'm glad most of you don;t know real punk rock, cause real punk rock is full of leftist, scumbag, mental midget, dirty, angry at their wealthy parents, contrarian, nerdy lunch table in middle school idiots. 

thanks

WashingtonMonster86 youre so accurate. No sarcasm. Punk rock is ironic af.

Why expose such ignorance and arrogance other than to gain the attention of those bored enough to give you any?

What's also funny is how anyone would think a band has a responsibility to anyone when it comes to anything else but showing up if you buy a ticket. So serious about the stuff we like
......until it gets old.

It’s so punk to talk about punk on YouTube

It's so punk to talk about what's punk

I love this fucking song seriously listen to it every fucking day

Great song.

Is this standard tuning or is it played with a capo on the 2nd fret?

Capo on 2, G D Em C G D C C

Say it ain't so Against Me... Covering the most boring, overplayed song in history

@Dan Stirton the original version by Old Crow Medicine Show is fucking awesome though.

They covered it before all the shit heads did

@beau99 Bob Dylan wrote it old crowd did a cover but this one takes the cake

@Dan Stirton Uh, no. This isn't fucking Freebird.

+Kenneth Pickett Bob wrote the chorus and threw it away, O.C.M.S wrote everything else. They also finished a Bob Dylan song on Redemer with Sweet Amarillo

Bob D!! Great cover

@Cody Hillson bob dylan is a leftist communist hippie.

@WashingtonMonster86 Cool story. So fucking what? I thought this was America.

+Tyler Clingerman I'm pretty sure that's a compliment.

I've always loved AM's take on this song. I don't really know if its an apt descriptor, but it sounds so honest

The only version besides OCMS that I'll accept.

@Steven Ketchum ,and finished by Keith Secor with a "better to ask forgiveness than permission" approach

original by Bob Dylan is great

Hell yeah.

THNF89 Johnny hobo bro

@James Paul He most certainly did not. His version feels diluted and emotionless.

Whats with this rock shit, fuck this I'm out;

This song is fucking beautiful. It is one of the best covers ive ever heard. Keep up the great fucking work.

"Rock me mama like the wind and the rain, rock me mama like a southbound train." Let the tension ease out because sometimes you got to relaxed from all the shit in this world like buying flowers to girls who don't love and sticking with bands that don't know you. I love this band, Teenage Anarchist to Thrash to this. Because all their music is art in the purest form in my book.

Can't listen to this when I'm not home or it'll make me miss Virginia

@Immynumber1fan why not?

+Ben Weiner I feel that, I was born in the Shenandoah Valley, but moved to Mass when my mom met my step-father, and like this song makes me miss it with everything in my soul.

+Ben Weiner I'm out in Abilene, TX, missing my Blue Ridge like hell. The banks of the James don't seem so far when hear this tune.

I used to live in the Bridgewater/Dayton area. Those were the days!

@John Key Amen! Im out in Colorado and this makes me miss the James and Blue Ridge! VA life!

Against Me! Sure does take me back! ♡

This cover is fucking great

I'm pretty sure that the song Don't Lose Touch really clearly apologizes for the FACT that she sold out and she's making money and fuck you. I'm not saying she is wrong, or bad, or I don't like her anymore. But she did, pretty clearly, lose touch with her audience and it's because she sold the fuck out

@Pan Trimtab uh, no. it's not written from her perspective. it's from the perspective of someone falsely accusing them of selling out. Such as yourself. it's a criticism of people like you.

Literally the best song to drink alone to. 

Funny you should say that. I saw Laura last night play with the devouring mother’s. It was literally the best night I’ve had in ten years. I met her and told her how much her music has meant to me. I also have been partying alone up for a couple days and was confronted about it by a friend who wants me to get sober. I think it’s time. That you LGJ.

This and some Days N' Daze

Nah, pints for sure.

Agreed. Just this second realize this. 10/16/19 10:44pm. ❤

the new against me sucks

wow must suck to be such a transphobic piece of shit

vulgarfvck wow

Woesty420 your a walking abortion

Wade Catt ok Wade and your opinion means as much to anyone as Laura's penis did to her, I grew up with these awesome ppl oh yeah you're the dude that looking at her pretty face w a rope around your neck n tube of airplane glue , you don't have to explain it I am so sure you don't have a partner to make sure you don't die but I'm not sure how you got my info but you brought it on you and your little autoerotic asfuxciation comment on the post I lied when I promised not to tell n I am all for sexually equal and safety words but I'm going to have to get ready for another intervention I knew you would need help

Wade Catt

good version but wilcos is best

love it 

I used to cover this song in bars till I choked on cigarette smoke.


-OCMS

@joe shmoe

of cum

or a combination of shit and jizz called Shiz

Check out Stick & Poke. They do the cutest covers.

Saturn Moriya me first and the gimme gimmies.

great acoustic cover. i love when people think this song was created by OCMS, good band but lets be honest, a cover made them popular. no hate towards them, but some people are fucking dumb if you think they wrote the original song. Probably the same people that think Johnny Cash wrote "hurt".

Only thing that isn't OCMS original on this song is the chorus which is written by Bob Dylan.

such a boring cover

Old crow medicine show sings it best

Bn2n3n3anthony the the the mm
, v'benjamine

lol fuck that
