wagon wheel (im smarter than this) Lyrics

Headed down to the land of the pines

Thumbing my way down to North Carolina

Staring at the road and pray to god I see headlights

Cus the world turns back when you're driving alone

Hoppin city down to city til I'm traveling home

And I've been lost for a while but I feel found

And that fleeting emotion of running away

If I left my family I know what they'd say

And those old-time values that I held so close anyway

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey, hey momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a southbound train

Hey, hey momma rock me

I'm a hippie at heart but I wish I knew better

I wish I had words at the tip of my tongue

When there's no more comfort to wear in the sweater

Sometimes the best way is dying out young

Connections I made and the people along

When you've been stripped from the place you belong

And speaking my mind has never so much harder

Look at the photograph look at them smile

Picking green flowers when I was child

And now I'm so wrapped up with getting home

So rock me momma like a wagon wheel

Rock me momma any way you feel

Hey, hey momma rock me

Rock me momma like the wind and the rain

Rock me momma like a southbound train

Hey, hey momma rock me

And finally

I can fly and be

Somewhere

Carefully, Crafted

Lost and free

Run up north and never come back
