The story behind the song

"Wagon Wheel" tells the story of a hitchhiker's journey from New England down the eastern coast of the United States, through places like Roanoke, Virginia, with the ultimate goal of reuniting with his lover in Raleigh, North Carolina. Along the way, he encounters a trucker heading west through Virginia. The song originated from a chorus and melody by Bob Dylan, with verses added later by Ketch Secor, who wrote about feeling homesick and inspired by Beat poets and Dylan. At its heart, the song is a road-weary tale of longing and the enduring hope of love.
