Rock Me, Mama, Like A Wagon Wheel


"Wagon Wheel"
Headed down south to the land of the pines
I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road
And 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 anyway 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 anyway 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 gotta get a move on fit for 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 anyway 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

Well, this video has successfully brought me to the feel of in the middle of nowhere. Try to listen carefully, you would like being lost and there must be a reason in you that motivates your hopes and dreams come out. Then you find your self restart life over, because of the experiences that you feel have gotten you down. That reason is the only thing you have left, but it really gives you big changes in your life.

I don't exactly remember where I found this song, but it used to be the song I played several times in my iPod. And sometimes I took my guitar just to follow the beat, and I really remember I had done playing it with other country musician in my neighborhood once when I was in OH.

Jayeng Kusuma adalah seorang wedana Kadipaten Brebeg. Dia adalah ksatria yang tidak mendukung berlangsungnya Penjajahan Belanda di bumi nusantara ini. Pada suatu hari di Pendhopo Kadipaten Brebeg berlangsunglah suatu musyawarah. Di dalam musyawarah yang dipimpin oleh Adipati Sasra Kusuma ini membicarakan tentang kebijakan pemerintahan Belanda di Indonesia yang akan dirubah dari Politik Culture Stelsel menjadi Politik Etis. Hal ini dilatar belakangi oleh masa peralihan politik di Belanda yang semula bersifat konservative menjadi politik yang lebih liberal, sehingga Pemimpin Bangsa Belanda merasa bahwa sistem pemerintahan yang diterapkan di Indonesia pada waktu itu kurang menguntungkan bagi rakyat pribumi. Belanda akan lebih memperhatikan keadaan sosial, pendidikan, kesehatan, dan kesejahteraan masyarakat pribumi Indonesia melalui sistem ini, Politik Etis. Semua informasi itu disampaikan oleh duta Bangsa Belanda bernama Hazeu. Dengan diberlakukannya sistem baru ini, Jayeng Kusuma tet

Ini kisahku, ini ceritaku, ini pengalamanku. Bukan bisa dikata menyakitkan, atau mengenaskan, tetapi hanya stinging my butt. Oke. Tahun pertama kuliah ini sedikit lagi selesai, semester 2 aku rasa lebih berwarna dibanding semester sebelumnya. Kali ini dunia kepenulisan yang lebih sering aku lirik, entah karena ingin menggeluti lebih dalam mempersiapkan tugas akhir ntar, yang jelas bukan karena terbawa arus pergaulan. So, sorry, if you say, I'm just the flowing the water, tapi yang benar, I make the water flowing. :D Nggak terlalu banyak kompetisi yang saya ikuti, hanya beberapa saja, cukuplah kalau dibilang sebagai pengalaman, meski belum bisa dikatakan sebagai pencapaian. Karena, literally, I HAVE GIVEN NOTHING! Tetapi saya masih bisa menerima peribahasa orang-orang sekitar yang mencoba menghibur kekalahanku, bahwa kegagalan adalah kunci awal kesuksesan, jangan menyerah, dan terus mencoba! Oktober tahun lalu, adalah awal saya dapat merasakan sensasi menulis, yang hasilnya l

"Thank you": The Secret to Our Success!

When was the last time you said “thank you”? This simple phrase is very important. With very view words we can express our gratitude and respect for what others have done for us. Others need to know that we appreciate what they do for us and we are grateful. This is why it is important to say “thank you”. Saying “thank you” shows we understand what others are doing for us and they see we have a positive and appreciate outlook. Take advantage of the time we have now to show appreciation for the people who are making our exchange great. Our experience is unique for us, and cannot be duplicated by anyone else. Nobody will have the same experiences with our friends and other people ever! In addition to saying “thank you”, we can also show our appreciation by doing a favor, giving a small gift (such as a flower or a drawing) or using other words to express our gratitude (for example, “I feel very fortunate that you are my friend.”) We should say “thank you” when someone does something for u
