 >From  Boston to Southshore on the  back of the bus
 It's  the last winter storm  of the season and such
 And  I'm lost to the fiction of  the book in my lap
 The  snow makes me drowsy while the  dreams roll and tumble
 And  it's a long way to Texas  it's a long way back home
 and  it's a three hour flight  on the plane when I go
 away  from the snow from Boston  to Southshore
 Where  the dreams roll and tumble and bring  the prose to the wheel
   Bring the prose to the  wheel
   I'm not drivin these wheels
   I'm not drivin these wheels
   Bring the prose to the  wheel
   I'm not drivin these wheels
   I'm not drivin these wheels
 And that face in the window is one I should know
 But it's never been haloed by New England snow
 And the child across the aisle is sleeping away
 While the soldier behind me lets his dreams roll and tumble my way
 .  . .today
 This cradle of the interstate so weary of dreams
 The hurt that they cause us is now restless it seems
 Oh soldier dear soldier you keep your dreams to yourself
 My heart's rolled and tumbled until I put it on the shelf
