WAGON WHEEL Old Crow Medicine Show

Heading down south to the land of the pines TOBACCO ROAD I'm thumbing my way into North Carolina Nashville Teens Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights I made it down the coast in seventeen hours I was born in a trunk. Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers Mama died and my daddy got drunk. And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight Left me here to die alone in the middle of Tobacco Road. So rock me momma like a wagon wheel Rock me momma any way you feel, Hey momma rock me Growin' up rusty shack, Rock me momma like the wind and the rain all I had was hangin' on my back. Rock me momma like a south bound train Only you know how I loathe Hey momma rock me this place called Tobacco Road.

Running from the cold up in New England But it's home, the only life I ever known. I was born to be a fiddler in an old time Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road. My baby plays a guitar, I pick a now Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down Gonna leave, get a job Lost my money playing poker so I had to leave town with the help and the grace from above. But I ain't turning back to living that old life no more Save some money, get rich and old, bring it back to Tobacco Road. CHORUS But it's home, the only life I ever known. Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road. I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke But he's a-heading west from the Bring that dynamite and a crane, To Johnson City, Tennessee blow it up, start all over again. I gotta get a move on before the sun, I hear my baby calling Build a town, be proud to show. my name and I know that she's the only one Gives the name Tobacco Road. And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free CAROLINA CAROLINA Eric Church Parmalee

There's a cabin in a valley, my grandpa built on your land. Home is where my heart is still beating Your mountains are a canvas, for the makers hand. And I don't know when I'll see her again I hate to see her cry when I'm leaving Tonight I'm fishing Elk River, If only in my mind. But now I'm a thousand miles away again No, I haven't seen her banks in such a long, long time. And she feels like Carolina, looks like California I carry you in my heart Shining like those New York lights on Broadway your memory comes over me like the dark and When she looks back I'm behind her I'll always be there for her [Refrain] She makes me feel like home's not so far away Like a phone call from my baby, She feels like Carolina Sayin' honey I miss ya like crazy. Like the sound of a siren song, It's hard to understand the way I'm living Oh Carolina, ya keep callin me home. And I know she thinks I'm never coming home (never coming Callin' me home. home) But I miss her pretty smile, I'm coming back in a little while Sometimes I grow weary, from goin' all the time. But I'm a thousand miles away again I love to take a minute,let you ease my mind. CHORUS I'd love to see my mama, maybe go for a drive But I gotta play the star in some little town again tonight No matter how far I go, you know I can't stop thinking about her Don't get me wrong, I love what I do And there's nothing like the way I feel, the way I feel when It's just another song about missing you I'm beside her

[Refrain] [2x] Oh, oh, oh, oh Callin' me home x3 Oh, oh, oh, oh
