Wagon Wheel lyrics

[I heard an amazing cover of this song recently, and now I love it.]

Heading down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbing my way in the North Caroline
Staring up the road 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,
So 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
And I lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't turning back and 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 to the Cumberland gap,
From Johnson City, Tennessee.
Now 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
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain,
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey... momma rock me

celebrating mum

We went for brunch today to celebrate my mum's birthday.

Brunch-what a very funny word. I like to say it over and over: brunch, brunch, brunch.

"I have lovely bunch of coconuts."

bunch is like brunch.

The bunch of us went for brunch.

The bunch of us bought brunch.

The birthday bunch bought brunch for the best mum.

What's a synonym I can use for mom that starts with b?? hmmm...

birth-giver? kinda a stretch...

Our bunch bought brunch for the birthday of the best birth-giver.

Our bunch bought brunch for the birthday bash of the best birth-bearer.

Even more convoluted, but I am enjoying the tongue twister style of it.

Our bunch brought the best birth-bearer to brunch for her birthday bash.

But then the 'bought' is taken out.

Our bunch brought the best birth-bearer to brunch, which we bought for her birthday bash.

Our bunch bought brunch for the best birth-bearer, who we brought to her bodacious birthday bash.

Bringing blessings, our bulbous bunch bought brunch for the best birth-bearer's bodacious birthday bash.

Bringing bodies bearing blessings, our bulbous bunch bought brunch for the best birth-bearer's bodacious birthday bash... I should stop.

mum's the word.

rrrrrrrooollll up the rrrriiimmm to wwwwiiin!

I had my first Timmies of this year's roll up the rim, and I'm 0/1.

belated birthday gift

I received a travel mug with a variation of this artwork by Catherine Aguilar, and the phrase "See beauty in all things." How very fitting for me. I love it.
