"Wagon Wheel" Lyrics:
Headed down south to the land of the pines
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road
Pray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh
I can see my baby tonight
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a south-bound train
Hey, mama rock me
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band
My baby plays the guitar
I pick a banjo now
Oh, the North country winters keep a-gettin' me now
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a-turnin' back
To livin' that old life no more
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a south-bound train
Hey, mama 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-headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I got to get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby callin' 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, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me
Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a south-bound train
Hey, mama rock me Subscribe to Nettwerk's UA-cam channel:

Had a friend in the Marine Corps that loved this song and played it any chance he got. He ended up taking his life after our desperate to change his mind. Anyways a year goes by and a bunch of Marines and I are visiting some family in Maryland. Someone pulled out a guitar and in our drunken emotional states we all yelled this song into the wind as loud as we could. Probably 15-20 people yelling for our buddy, all drunk and crying. I come here every day for him and I can always smell the east coast ocean and pines. Rest in Peace 1994-2015
RIP warrioir.
Wow that’s touching 👊🏼
Thank You for your service. I spent four years in the U.S. ARMY myself.
Damn man I'm sorry🥺 I lost my 2 best friends, I understand that pain 😔 😢 sending u love, these comments r getting me emotional af lol
Man, that’s young. Sorry for your friend, friend.
Why are some kids complaining about the singer's voice? That's how a real country singer sounds. A long time ago when country music actually was country EVERYONE sang like this.
+HillbillyBoogie1 and country sucked back then except for a slim handful of artists
this is not country music. this is more of a blue grass, folk type song. I actually really dislike modern country because it's just too poppy and doesn't sound like country to me anymore.
+HillbillyBoogie1 Probably the same young Einsteins who say they "didn't even like country until they heard Taylor Swift".......I got news for those punks. They still don't like country music if that's the case.
well thank God those days are over.
preach it brother lol no joke gives me a hank sr feel, classic, and good for the ears
My dad played this song in the car once and I’ve been in love with it since.
When I found out I'm dying, this became my greatest comfort. Now I've been given a little bit more time, it remains my favorite.
Have you ever heard Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra's version of All My Tears? It's beautiful and I bet it would give you some comfort as well. Check it out.

I will pray for you
@c 0:19 hrys❤😢talgail
are you still with us?
U still good man?
This kind of songs make me miss something I don't even know.
Your comment is exactly how I feel
Bob Dylan started this song they finished it . Great
Makes me wanna die in Raleigh, wherever tf that is
Powerful message man I feel ya
Hell yes
I might be more of a punk rock kind of guy, and I may not like country all that much, but I know a good song when I hear it.
I love people who appreciate all music, not just one genre 😃 big ups
It's not country and Bob Dylan wrote it
@@joeschmidl3837 who cares whether it's country or bluegrass or roots or whatever? It's just a label. Oh, and Dylan co-wrote it
@@horsepills obviously you care enough to respond
A great song can come from any genre. I don't like much punk rock type music (I assume there are many specific sub-styles) , but I love live versions of Fugazi's Waiting Room.
That voice is called the high lonesome and you can only sing it if you've lived it
Go listen to "Methamphetamine" by them. Their greatest song imo. He and they have definitely lived it, that's for sure...
If you know you know
@@cathyspinelli9541 elaborate pls
@@marvin2678and if you don't, ya just don't.
The shitty thing? Not all of us who've lived it wind up with such a voice. I've been homeless, I've meandered for years at a time, I've been crippled by disease and later the bottle, smoked my whole adult life, and I still sing like a freshman choir boy with big dreams of Broadway 😂
All the country songs I've written sound like shitty covers in my voice. My dad's a former hard drug dealer, ex biker, and certified Mountain Man. He also suffers from a clear high tenor voice. Tough break!
My dad taught me to play this on the guitar when I was young. He passed when I was a teen of brain cancer. But I still play it whenever I can. I've always loved it
Wow❤
That’s beautiful
Beautiful memory to hold close and keep alive ❤🎶🎶
❤🙏
Dont know you. But i love you buddy
by far the best version of this song. how it should be sung period. as a Scottish man culture is everything and this is a southern classic. ❤
lots of Scottish culture in the areas of the USA mentioned in the song!
@@douglasmccoll6296 Scots are the equivalent of .the U.S. south in UK, even though they are to the north. Check out the crofts and clearances, and you will see many direct conn
ections.
@@HighLeeCoyote Bluegrass is a descendant of Highland Scottish Celtic music in the Appalachians. They do sound different now, but you can hear things in common with them.
I'd like to dedicate this comment to my brother lucas this was his favorite song. Rest in piece my friend 1993-2013

my daughter turned me on to this song years ago. Today I sit and listen to it giving anything to just have her back. RIP Brandy "Bambi" Bell.
This is the sound of Appalachia. I'm glad this genre is coming back into the light. I love it! Some of the best songs ever written were Appalachian first...

Bob Dylan is from Texas. Quite far from Appalachia.

This song makes me miss a place I've never been to.
So true!!
Grew up an hour from the hometown of OCMS, when I was there all I wanted to do is was leave. Now I’m in the Navy halfway around the world, I just miss those mountains so much.

You are not alone

These are the most beautiful comments I’ve ever read. I’m so happy I’m not the only one cryin. Thank y’all so much. ❤️
Darius did a good cover, but the original still stands the test of time.
If you are reading this, I just want to say you have great taste in music. Have good day.
Thank you. You have a good as well.
I hope you both have a wonderful day!!

ty, tyvm
Thank you! You as well ! Real music 💯
Well I just cried in the gym at 430am. I am in recovery. This song stirs deep emotions in me. I'm so greatful to God that I finally got it.
❤
Stay strong in your recovery. You're worth it
Thank yall. I wrote a book called "The meth bible". I am so greatful to be alive. Free and healthy. God saved me when I deserved it the least
Yo. You got this
One day at a time
Anytime I hear Darius's version, I think of how much better the OCMS version is.
Love it more.
Loved it first.
A good cover changes the song quite extensively. Darius Rucker version did not really change it at all.
I love both versions.
I heard Darius first
My whole life i thought this was the more well known version of the song because it was the ONLY version I heard people blasting back when I discovered the song in college. Only recently did I realize when most people refer to “Wagon Wheel” they mean Darius.
This is a really good version but I do have to see I like “ I had to leave town better than I had to up and leave😂
It’s 2024 I love this version!!!!
Who’s listening in soon-to-be 2021? 14 years huh? 🤯 I remember this song first coming out like it was yesterday. 💕
Amen!Old crow !!Loving like it was brand new and the first time hearing
Yeah
Í
I'm listening in 2120
Still a steady play list fav..
I don't care what genre of music you like....everyone can appreciate this masterpiece.
The lead singer handsome
any song written by dylan is a masterpiece
@killerfat24 wrote most of it, not all of it. N gotta give credit to these guys, they nailed it
I dissent.
Honestly I hate country, but this is one of the greatest songs ever
Me and father went camping and fishing about 6 years ago and we played this song and around the campfire I asked my dad if he wanted to smoke a joint first time ever and he said hell yeah and I love this song every time I hear it makes me think of my father and he passed away December 2020 we were both in the hospital at the same time with Covid and pneumonia and we had to tubes down are throat they put us in separate rooms I got out a week later and find out that my Dad didn’t make it crushed me but this song brings every bit of joy and happiness and strength and honor
Miss Dad 🤝love you
I tried to get my dad to smoke with me about 45 years ago. He said he'd lived that long without it, he didn't think he needed it. He was born in 1905, but was still cool. Btw, I'm from Roanoke.
So sorry for your loss! Covid took a lot of good people in its wake. My husband of 33 years died from it also.
Loved ones above we are thinking of you ❤️
Rip
awesome story
Oh my gosh - I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you have this song and those memories, though.
My old man plays harmonica and i play sax. We jam this song out anytime we can and it's so cathartic. I cry everytime i hear it without him. I dread the day i lose my pops and hit the inevitable sax solo. Love you dad. This will always be our families song.
you are very wise. I'm here because I miss my dad right now.
"...caught a trucker outta Philly, had a nice long toke..." This is how we all become friends around the world.

Hi fellas!
My husband loved this music. Now that he passed away I play it all the time.
Sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss. 💕 Lost mine a year ago in January
Me too with my aunt (my mother) I don't speak english very well😢 but you are never alone, his soul is always with you❤ is your angel! It's never a goodbye! It is "I'll se you soon"❤
A😊@@RobinFlysHigh
My mom used to sing this to me when I was a little kid. She had such a beautiful voice and she was a loving mother.
Awh
Your mother is your angel ALWAYS❤ she still cares for your beautyful heart.❤❤❤ she protects you and know the needs of yuour heart.... it is not a goodbye!!!! It is "I will se you soon❤❤❤❤"
God bless you your mom is with you every day
So beautiful...😢his mother sang song about woman of the evening 😅
Living in Johnson City, TN, any time this would come on in the bar, everyone would scream/shout this song with our beers in the air. 😁 Ahhh, memories of when life was simpler.
Imagine how apeshit we go/went in Raleigh
How do you get there heading west from Cumberland Gap?
@@wjmoore17 really? Sooooo simple. You just turn the map upside down. Then N is S AND E is W. 🤣
NC native. Grew up in the mountains, moved to Raleigh. This song hits. It's still the better version. Rucker did well. He made it pop. They made it hit.
@@wjmoore17/ Heh, that's the joke isn't it. Looks like musicians aren't too keen on directions
I don't have any special story to tell. I just like this song.
I thought this was by Darius Rucker till I saw a tiktok video
Moved from Michigan to Alabama recently with my gf...
Heard this song...
Cried tears of happiness...
Then...
This song made it official, she gonna be my wife soon!!!
Love you 🐦👑
Nice bro! :) Michigan Made!
Hows that goin?
I love Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal and Hardcore. I also love this song.
Me also. Dylan's chorus he wrote 25 years before old crow added the verses
You have a good ear for music
the haunting beauty of the woman on the stage with the band keeps me coming back.
The first time I heard this song was at an acoustic night open mic night at a coffee house in college, the gentleman who played it had just lost his father who had taught him this song and had given him the mandolin he played it on. He sang a lot of it straight but started to break down about about two thirds in. So did we. He struggled through the tears, playing his instrument beautifully, and everyone gave him a standing ovation when he finished. I'll remember that until the day I die.
Wow, that is a story. Love it.
it's a blessing to see great things
that is beautiful
I used to listen to this song just riding around in my truck with my husky. He just passed away recently. On the day of his passing this song came on while I was riding with my daughter and I lost it then while singing it because it brought back a lot of good memories of he and I.
That’s great, y’all should’ve joined in and helped him sing it. I heard Old Crow’s version and saw this video on CMT’s edge of country show in the early 2000s. A lot of people were performing this song in Lubbock tx when I was in college
The fact this was uploaded 17 years ago and I still come back to hear this song....
In the name of Jesus, please ease everyone's pain that has left a hurt comment on here. Lead us to the light of love and forgiveness and redemption Amen
Me and hubby's song now for almost 9 years.. he left after we first met to go to VA to work and he lost my number bc contacts didn't transfer from a broken phone... he left his job 6 months later to come back to NC to find me. Found me he did and Engaged on day 4, married for 7 years, together for 8 with 3 beautiful children ❤
That's a nice story Mercedes.
I read that comment to the tune of the song. It works perfect.
Yep
@@SmoggyTurnip it's truly our song.. what I didn't include .. he also had a gambling problem before we married. This was the first song he sent me and to this day, 9 years later.. we still send each other songs
Great story Mercedes, truly.
Regards from the UK
Im from the UK, but I lived in North Carolina USA for 4 years. Let me tell you this song is North Carolina ❤
Did you come here to go to school? Where in NC did you live?
I pray my deceased wife can hear me playing this for her rt now. When we started dating we used to play this all the time and went to see these guys. LOVE YOU GABRIELLA❤❤❤😢😢😢😢!!!
She hears, brother, and you are loved!
Watching this live right now, 7/28/23 in Philadelphia PA and the bow of his violin is tearing strings and its fuckin awesome. What an awesome band that I've never heard of, keep up the good shows you crazy hillbilly bastards! ❤
Listenin' with ya in Philly👍
The last time I saw my Mom alive, back when she was still living at home, I heard this very song at a gas station blaring from a 4x4Toyota something...... I said loudly from the back seat, my Mom was in the passenger seat in front me, "I know this song!!" My Mom quickly said "me too" and we both started singing together..... This was the last song I heard with her
That is so sweet, special, and sad. As a mom, i can't imagine leaving my babies, even once they are grown. A mother's love is eternal.
A nice memory--I'm sure you'll remember that moment forever.
There are things you will never forget. Sound's the smell of a room and the like can trigger random and special memories. God bless.
Damn...that's scalding. For me, it was watching my father digging on Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb". I was so happy/proud/honored when he asked me, "Who is that?"
Music touches lives in so many ways. It is the language of angels. Praise God.
That's a very sweet memory.
From a small farm in New Zealand called Lincoln and this is our theme song!! Closing song each night at the pub!!
From Vegas, drink up lads
As being from right beside Johnson City, when those lyrics come up, we all yell it!
My late wife loved this song
May she rest easy, Steve❤
There's something about small town American culture and nysic that always makes me feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times
Do you know Iris Dement's "Our Town"? ua-cam.com/video/FikZwgj89HI/v-deo.html
It would be nice if travelling carnivals were economically viable. They offered a glimpse into strange other worlds.
@@teruin2 dimensions
Small town American culture. like burlesque strippers and carnie folk? Ahh, simpler times.
I DID MY WAITING! 12 YEARS OF IT! IN AZKABAN!
I don't care who does this song I like it. as a man who lives on the road. I meet a lot of people from all walks of life that make, music, we can all enjoy. most of the time, cover tunes in the back yard with no FX are the best and have more soul. what im saying is it is music, its not ment to be hated on. enjoy it or change the channel.
right on.
God Bless You :)
I bring my guitar to schools when I supply teach and occasionally a student asks if I know this song and I sling the guitar over my shoulder and say "Let's Do It!" But...I say hey this is school and to make it school friendly, after Roanoke let's sing "a bag of chips and a coke" instead of saying what Old CMS says!! I've sung The Chicks Travellin Soldier and sooo many other songs in classes with students. Its so good to have music and sing together....a great ice-breaker, tone-setter and connection maker for me as a "guest teacher" in different classrooms all the time!! Love this song!
This was the first song I ever learned, I could sing every word to my dad and papaw when I was 5 or 6 years old. My papaw has since passed and my dad had a massive stroke and is currently on life support. I played him this song and he was able to squeeze and shake my hand. This song always brings back so many memories and every-time I hear it it’s like the first time again. It will always have a place in my heart.
This was one of the first memories that I have of being with my Papa when I was 4 or 5 years old 🗝️.
3:27 😊
So sorry. What happened with your dad? Hope you're doing ok
Sorry to read this . How you handling life now??? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I wish this song could last forever.
Yes!
It can. Just replay it! ☺️
The best version of this song, in my opinion
It is.
This is the original version of the complete song. Bob Dylan wrote the chorus and decades later these guys wrote the verses.
Agree!!!
Darius Rucker did a great job but it's kind of overproduced. i think the folky bluegrass version is way more appropriate
@@KSkrode that's a great way to explain Rucker's version. I much prefer this version.
This was my favorite song when I deployed to Afghanistan in 2012. My sergeant figured out how to input iPod music into our headsets.
When we went through particularly...unpleasant areas...we would play this song.
I remember accepting that I could die at any moment, but at least I have good music playing when it happens.
Three of our soldiers got killed over that deployment. But as one of my buddies said,"three of us got killed, but all of us died in 2012. The rest of us are just still here."
Almost 12 years later, and he wasn't wrong.
Love that banjo
Old crow is my bestfriend's favorite band. She's no longer with us. But I always think of her when I hear this song
Justin D. So sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear of your loss
I’ve always claimed to despise country music, but this song has such a huge place in my heart. It resonates with my soul
Your a boring plain person that set's around and don't do shit if you despise country music
Call it bluegrass and you can like it .
This is just a great song. It's actually bluegrass but music in my opinion are just like people. There are lots of different types of it but good is good and bad is bad. Genre like race, religion, sex etc should never interfere with that before its even heard. Or before they're ever met
I despise top 40 country radio when I am forced to listen to it.
This song is more of a folk-country blend. It started out as a song fragment by Bob Dylan in the early 70s, based on earlier work by another songwriter, based on even earlier work by another guy, etc. etc. etc. That's the epitome of folk music. Old Crow just finished the song and rubbed some country on it.
Best version
Coming here, listening to one of my favorite songs and thinking of my husband that died of Covid. We were married 33 years. Yes a drinking some whiskey and reminiscing ❤️

Europe is a shithole comparing to the US believe me. I am not saying you should not try to make your country better I am saying as the real world is right now you are living in heaven. God bless your country and I hope you will persevere that freedom that you are not aware you have many upcoming centuries.
@@damjanstojanovski4808 Thank you for the perspective. It is good to be reminded of what we already have, sometimes.
That being said, it is also something to be grateful for that we can so vocally criticize our government when it falls short of our expectations.
Truly, it is a privilege to be an American, and if that is what you want, I wish you all the luck in the world in getting there in the future.
To me, being an American isn't so much a piece of paper, but a shared set of values. To me, you're already an American.
Then Nashville bought the rights and Darius Rucker has 400 million views for his version of their song 😢. This version is so much better
I like the Darius Rucker version, but yes, this version has so much more soul. The other version loses something with the slick production... it's just a little too clean and polished.

Ya, my 4.5 year old daughter loves this tune. She thinks the word “Toke” sounds funny, but loves the idea of rocking with mama. Kids are the best and this song is the best by a country mile. Something beautiful for all agars and emotional states.
At a time of a polarized America, I love to listen to this song and feel the pride of the United States flow through my blood. it’s not about believing that you were better than anyone else but just realizing that your culture and your home has beauty and it.

My Late Mother's favorite comment... "Time will Tell". Thanks for sharing that, ma'am!
I have never cared for country but this will always make me feel happy, my mom used to hold me and dance in the kitchen while singing and listening to this. Feels like home
I overheard this song playing while sitting outside a bar in Solvang CA this last weekend while visiting. I absolutely loved it!! So glad I found it. ❤
I was there babe. We couldn't stop singing it after! 😊
Took what Bob Dylan started, and finished it off excellently.. God bless ya OCMS. Til' the day I die you guys will always be one of my favourite bluegrass ensembles.
And then Darius Rucker brought it to a whole new generation who might not have heard this before.

Trash .
Does this got back to 1973 with Dylan , would like to know?
This song reminds me of the happiest time of my life. I was 23 years old serving in the USAF. Every weekend was spent hanging out with my fellow Airmen, just drinking beer and enjoying the music of our time.
This reminds me of the great times partying in the barracks with my brothers as a nieve 21 year old private in 2008. Great times and they were really the only good ones of my time served in the Army. The real "grunt life" sucked.
I was in the Army, but I can't agree more.
Man this is some great folk music
As someone who was born in Raleigh and has deep roots there, this is one of those songs I'd take with me to a desert island.
Best version.
I'm an Aussie and this video makes me feel more at home with my kind of people than Australia will ever do.
Come on over to the mountains of West Virginia or the fields South Carolina. We welcome Aussies.
We love Aussies in America!

The only version of this song that acknowledge! My wife grew up in Asheville+ went to school in Boone. I was born and grew up in Raleigh. When we started dating this song came on one night and we both said I love this song and it became our song. A few years later she walked down the aisle to this song
What nice story. What did your wife study at A.S.U.? I'm a A.S.U. grad. (class of 1990) my dad retired frrom the University.
I tear up on this song I don’t know why. Like I miss my younger days.
Fabulous band. Love their songs. Love Ketch xx
My husband loved this, he played it all the time. Now he has passed and it brings back memories.
My husband has also passed. He played rhythm guitar and he tried hard to learn this song for me! There was just so many words for him to remember! Our memories will carry us through!
I totally get it. Some songs are inked on your life like a tattoo. They fade but will always be there....for me. The Flame by Cheap Trick. My wedding song. Lost my wife in 2004. When it comes on I’m happy but still cry like a baby if that makes sense
@@leavenwortht The love too. It never dies. Even as my wife is dying from cancer. It will always be in your heart.
That's an absolute undiluted delight. I've played the track 1000 times.
I listen to this with my 4.5 year old daughter. She thinks “the band” makes it.
She Loves it! So good, no percussion of notable mention. It’s a beautiful song that just gets better every time we play it.
Song of our summer.
Best country song by a country mile.
Darius Rucker’s version has NOTHING on this one. That twangy voice is perfection .
If the vocalist hadn't taken off his glasses, I would have sworn it was josh duhamel😂I just discovered this song and I love it🪕🎙🎶
There's not much in life that makes me wish I was American, but this...
Alson there was a time in my life when I was really down, rock bottom, having random panic attacs, and this song randomly came up on a party boat in Hungary, while I was staying at a nearby campsite, hearing it. It gave soothed me and gave me hope. I've loved it ever since.
Wow great story
We're all human, and music connects us all in ways nothin else can. Best wishes, hope you're faring well
I have never regretted being an American. I cannot imagine being anyone else! I have traveled enough of the world. I learned no place is as unique, stubborn, resourceful, resilient and charitable as Americans. Have tou ever been here to visit? If ypu ever come for a visit let me know. God Bless 🥰
And if I die in Raleigh, at least I will die free.
yeeeeehawww
+STARK DRONE Marine?
:)
+Becca Helen I'd vote McCrory for president if he ran!
+Peyton Denton ifs he's talking Lejune in NC then yes marine.
Had a good friend in high school that loved this song. She's sadly not with us anymore but her memory is stronger than ever whenever Wagon Wheel comes on. Only OCMS will do, though. Hope Kins is having a great time up there. She taught me some good lessons in the short time of knowing her.
Sorry that you lost your friend.
The real wagon wheel. Don't get any better.
Didn't realize this started as a Bob Dylan tune until recently!!
I wonder how they got him to split the rights, from what I heard that's no small feat
Bob Dylan treasure still being discovered
I went on a backpacking trip to Philmont in boyscouts played this as the last song after a well in the middle of nowhere. Over 200 people were singing. One of my favorite memories
This is a so much better version than Hootie and the Blowfish guy
I joined this year long volunteer program and met a girl. She is amazing. Has such a zest for life, and contagiously boundless joy for everything she does. She truly makes life better. She truly showed me how to enjoy life more. Some how she fell in love with me. And I fell in love with her. Half way through the program she was offered a job in DC. She took it. We tried to make long distance work. But it’s really not her thing. She just isn’t capable of it. So we’re done. It’s not our fault. Neither of us want it to be over. But it is. And I cant stand to have her be a part of my life knowing that she isn’t mine. So we don’t talk anymore. It’s killing me. I feel so disconnected from the world. I feel like I’m trying to feel an object with burnt fingertips. I know she hurts too, but she’s going to move on. Faster. More completely. She’s going to move on. Fall in love with another. And then they’ll be special. They’ll have her endless joy. I’ll just be memories.
All I want is to share my day with her, tell her all about what’s going on. Share with her how I’m feeling what I’m thinking. Drink from the well of life with her. Feel it wash over my tongue and watch her reaction to how it tastes. To think that’s gone because of distance, because we’re at different stages of life. My present, at the cost of my future.
She showed my this song. It’s her song to me
HAD PLENTY LIKE HER IM A GRANDAD OF 63 NOW IT WORKS BOTH WAYS BROTHER
Go to D.C. ! Are you out of your fucking mind ? If you love this girl go to her . Drop everything and get your ass to D.C.
This song was played at my teenage cousin's funeral. Used to make me cry sad tears, now it's a reminder of the good times. Cheers ya'll. Dead addicts can't recover, if you use, be safe please.
Im dedicating this to my dad. I hope you're happy up there. I love you 2-6-19
Amanda G It’ll be alright sorry for your loss ,if you ever need someone to talk to I’ll be here for you
@@swaglordtheog1971 hhh you fuck face go play fortnite
How nice! I'm a Dad. When I die, none of my little bastards will even think about me. I have no idea what I did wrong but, it was something. Fvck'm.

That's Kristi Rose sitting on stage, one of the most underrated female country singers of all time!
Bestie you have no idea how long I've been trying to find out who that is ☺️ you're a king!
@@ennuiblue4295 same here lol
Good man, now, you wouldn't happen to know the name of the lass in the leopard print. I'd like to marry that.
Several years ago I was tutoring a young boy whose mother was from Ukraine and whose papa was from Russia, and this was in Germany where I have lived over 25 years. He taught me this song on bass and guitar. And I am from North Carolina and had never heard of OCMS. There is hope in this world.
I too found this song later in life. I played it over and over and my son loved it too. I played it in the car whilst driving my son's ashes home. Means more than I can say.
Awe I’m so sorry. No parent should have to bury there child. 💕💕
It sounds to me like you're a Very Good Mom , and You have a Very Cool Son - and some sweet day You'll be Together again , listening to this song with JESUS CHRIST
Wendy, I am sorry for your terrible loss.
I know your pain..bless you ..
That's sweet.
This version is notoriously under rated.
No it's not. Has over 55 million views.
@@bubbabaxter64 this should have 10X that.
@Bornaking he might be referring to the Darius Rucker version, and yes this is much much better lol
Love this song too..love Pickathon in happy valley oregon…first weekend in Aug.
“Listen and play, play and listen” ☮️🎼🤟
i lived in North Caralina till i was 12 years old. every time I hear this song all I can think of is my friends, and family that I don't get to see anymore. i love this song
This goes out to my dead friend nick, his favorite song !
This ones for you Nick🙏🏿
May the gods keep Nick alive in our hearts, until our day comes, and on that day let there be Old Crow and the Medicine Show performing for all their greatest fans, a may Nick have already gotten the tickets.
