Darius Rucker - Wagon Wheel Lyrics






Heading down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbing my way into North Carolina
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

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
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
I 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
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, hey momma rock me

Oh, so rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel (I wanna feel)
Hey, hey momma rock me (momma rock me, momma rock me)
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
(I wanna rock like a south bound train)
Hey momma rock me
Rock me

    This is medicine against bad mood, without any side effect, or maybe just addiction, I love this song :)

  5. S.... ....

    M.... F....

  12. A.... H....

    I have heard people say black people can't sing country. What I am hearing then? I hear a black man sing wonderful. Darius have a fantastic voice. He is also play great on guitar. You know how to sing country Darius!😁

  13. W.... ....

    I discovered this guy in prison,We had 1 music channel and when my partner let me watch his tv,This all I watched,And I became a big Fan of this singer

  14. j.... s....

    Anyone else notice they were not going to let him in the club? Why?

  15. j.... M....

    Dear mr Rucker I doubt you will see this but I'm desperate and I think you may be the only person who could help me. My name is Jesse Mccollom I'm from New braunfels Texas, I fell in love with a girl and her parents hate the age gap, it started to cause a rift in her and there relationship so with tears in are eyes saying we still were in love with each other separated to ease the tension. I'm a loser to them because I still live with my mom even thou it's my house lol and I worked a terrible job just so I could see this girl (we worked together) my grandma was going thru chemo and radiation so i moved back from Colorado to assist, after she passed she left me the property but it left me in a complete state of depression I got fat couldnt barely get out of bed became a loser but then I started working at this job and 1st day saw this girl who literally stole my heart, I had never believed in love at first sight but I cant ignore it now. I lost 95lbs and started to get this girls attention all because she gave me a smile when i so desperately needed something she lifted me up, she got me motivated again, here's where you come in if your still reading, her dad and mom were going thru a rough patch and mom went to Arizona with the kids the dad would sing your song "wagon wheel" to her every night, idk if it would help but if your crazy enough to help a sorry sap like me out, I cant play guitar but I would try or even sing, I'd like to give them a father daughter dance to your song, then ask if me and her could share one idk I love this girl and would do anything to be with her but I need parents approval and if that wouldnt work I atleast know my crazy ass tried my best. Here's to long shot sometimes you just gota have faith. Thank you sir

  17. R.... G....

    I have to play this every time I need to put my son to sleep and he’s either sick or teething this works instantly - thank you from one thankful mom

  18. N.... M....

    Who would want to listen to this garbage? The hardest part of listening to hootie and the blowfish was definitely the man-on-man sodomy and the HIV. The shame-filled existence and suicidal thoughts were not pleasant either.

    N.... M....

    Bruh, it's a song, a good song

  19. A.... P....

    Aaron Rodgers and Justin Vernon brought me here. Who else?

  20. E.... M....

    Very good 👍

  21. O.... D....

    💙💛❤️

  22. M.... S....

    I love this song and it bring back so many memories from the 2010s😁

  23. D.... M....

    SOMEBODY MENTIONED [ JACK ]? IF I CANT PICK IT I WILL TALK THE LOCK OPEN.

  24. A.... L....

    Who else noticed that in the beginning the intro of duck dynasty was playing and then there was willie and si?

    A.... L....

    Si, Willie, Corrie, Sadie and Jase were all in the video and at the end too

    A.... L....

    It's meant to be that way

  25. T.... G....

  34. S.... Z....

    Trés belle musique , bravo☺☺☺

  35. T.... S....

    I can't believe that this guy is the singer of Hootie and the Blowfish...

  36. G.... R....

    I love how you can follow the story in the song. I've been listening to this since it came out, listened to old crow medicine show, and I know it's a bob Dylan song...but Darius Rucker mastered it. What an amazing experience.

  46. L.... E....

    I could listen to his voice forever ❤

  47. J.... C....

    Wanted to share this on Facebook because the song is good, but when i saw those racist homophobes from Duck Dynasty I was done. BTW, Darius, I know you didn't write it, but you don't go west from Cumberland Gap to get to Johnson City, TN.

  48. D.... P....

    I'm German and I like country..

  53. M.... ....

    This song always puts me in a good mood

  54. D.... M....

    Its 2020 .....Who is still listening?

    D.... M....

    Almost every day. Along with the dead south in hell.....

    D.... M....

    hell yeah

  55. s.... o....

    I'm pretty sure I was the only one who was unaware of this cover until today. I've always liked the original old crow medicine show version but gotta say Darius Rucker did a pretty damn good job.

    s.... o....

    Yes I agree - I never heard this version having listened to the Old Crow version. "Wagon Wheel" is a song co-written by Bob Dylan and Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show - WOW another Dylan song listed as Country!

  56. J.... L....

    2020 still listening ! Like if you love 💗.

    J.... L....

    I have loved Darius for many years!

    J.... L....

    I'm gonna get to meet him in a few days at Daytona 500 I'm low-key excited

    J.... L....

  64. C.... R....

    A legend

  65. R.... M....

    Was that pickup driver Si from Duck Dynasty? Yes it was , I just saw another one in the nightclub scene, at 4:01

  66. Y.... a....

    Darius the king!

  67. A.... J....

    Why does someone have to say, "I'm black but I like country". As if skin color means anything at all?

    A.... J....

    Ibrahima Diop besides, racism is hardly a thing now

    A.... J....

    In black culture Country music is frowned upon...idk why 🤷🏿‍♂️ Im black and I def love me some country. My friends look at me weird for it but i am unapologetically me.

    A.... J....

    Not saying it's right or not, but country music to the whites is like rap music to the blacks in America. You do you. If you're whiter than Mitt Romney in a snowstorm but you were born and raised in the hood. You'd probably never going to get any shit from others by listening to rap music. Vice versa.

    A.... J....

    @Ghastly Gibbus almost every white person I know, that is under 45 years old likes rap music. Maybe not the new shitty rap, but the good old school stuff.

    A.... J....

    Ask lil nas x
