We've been playing that song since we were like 17, and it's funny because we've never met Dylan, but the song is technically co-written by Bob Dylan. I'd gotten a (Bob) Dylan bootleg in like ninth grade and I let (band co-founder) Ketch (Secor) listen to it, and he wrote the verses because Bob kind of mumbles them and that was it. It uses the I–V–vi–IV pattern in the key of A major, with the main chord pattern of A–E–F ♯m–D. Old Crow Medicine Show's version of the song is in swing 2/4 time signature, with an approximate tempo of 76 half notes per minute. As the narrator is walking south of Roanoke, he meets a trucker who is traveling from Philadelphia through Virginia westward toward the Cumberland Gap and Johnson City, Tennessee. The song describes a hitchhiking journey south along the eastern coast of the United States from New England in the northeast through Roanoke, Virginia, with the intended destination of Raleigh, North Carolina, where the narrator hopes to see his lover.
The song has been covered numerous times, including charting versions by Nathan Carter in 2012 and Darius Rucker in 2013. Old Crow Medicine Show's final version was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in April 2013. Dylan recorded the chorus in 1973 Secor added verses 25 years later.
