Capo: 1st fret
 A-  D-  G- D  
>From ABoston to Southshore on the Dback of the bus
It's the lGast winter storm of the Dseason and such
And I'm lAost to the fiction of the bDook in my lap
The sGnow makes me drowsy while the Ddreams roll and tumble
And it's a lAong way to Texas it's a lDong way back home
and it's a tGhree hour flight on the pDlane when I go
awAay from the snow from DBoston to Southshore
Where the dGreams roll and tumble and bring the pDrose to the wheel
CHORUS
     ABring the prose to the wDheel
     I'm not drivin these wGheels
     I'm not drivin these wDheels
     ABring the prose to the wDheel
     I'm not drivin these wGheels
     I'm not drivin these wDheels
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
CHORUS
. . .todAayD  G  D  A  D  G  D  
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
CHORUS

>From Boston to Southshore on the back of the bus

G D

It's the last winter storm of the season and such

A D

And I'm lost to the fiction of the book in my lap

G D

The snow makes me drowsy while the dreams roll and tumble

A D

And it's a long way to Texas it's a long way back home

G D

and it's a three hour flight on the plane when I go

A D

away from the snow from Boston to Southshore

G D

Where the dreams roll and tumble and bring the prose to the wheel

CHORUS

A D

Bring the prose to the wheel

I'm not drivin these wheels

A D

Bring the prose to the wheel

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

CHORUS

A D G D A D G D

. . .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
