| Van Halen – Little Guitars Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Easily one of my favorite VH songs. Eddie does some of his most beautiful guitar work in this one. I never get tired of hearing it. | |

| You are correct, subey. I've been down I-81 through the Bristol area more times than I can count. I think the lyrics used "headed west" because it evokes a more powerful imagery. | |

From Wikipedia (Roanoke, Virginia): During colonial times the site of Roanoke was an important hub of trails and roads. The Great Wagon Road, one of the most heavily travelled roads of eighteenth century America, ran from Philadelphia through the Shenandoah Valley to the future site of the City of Roanoke, where the Roanoke River passed through the Blue Ridge. The Roanoke Gap proved a useful route for immigrants to settle the Carolina Piedmont region. At Roanoke Gap, another branch of the Great Wagon Road, the Wilderness Road, continued southwest to Tennessee. The song is making reference to traveling on highways along the same route as the Great Wagon Road, hence the title "Wagon Wheel". On a side note, there is a geographical error in the lyrics. Johnson City, TN actually lies to the EAST of the Cumberland Gap, not the west. |

No, mcoogie, the Roanoke referred to in the song is indeed Roanoke, VA, not the "lost colony" of Roanoke in NC.
