Wagon Wheel!

The song I have chosen is Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker. It all starts out with a lonely old man walking down the road, not sure what to do with his life. The setting is in the 1800's during the big slavery thing. He wasn't sure what he was gonna do now that he was free from his owners. As he was walking down the road, he noticed an abandoned wagon wheel in the ditch. He felt exactly like that wagon wheel. He felt abandoned and lonely. All his family had been sold to a different owner and now he had nowhere to find them. He had nowhere to go and he felt crushed.
