11-24-11 - "Wagon Wheel" ~ Old Crow Medicine Show

Holiday Quickie.  Here's a track that was cobbled together from the strains of a chorus composed by Bob Dylan.  Nostalgic and regretful, but with a hopeful attitude toward the future, the protagonist seeks redemption and rebirth as his journey to his hometown acts as a metaphor for his turning from evil, self-sabotaging ways and returning to his roots...


"North country winters keep a'gettin me
lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
but I ain't goin' back to livin' that old life no more..."

"...and if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free..."
