Lyrics
Steel thermos on the dashboard shelf Steam is curling by itself Empty seats and window fog Wipers keeping time like a log Pour a cup, pour it slow Warm hands on the wheel, easy go Pour a cup, pour it slow Little bit of home on the road Stop at the corner, doors sigh wide Nobody's there, so I wait inside Streetlamp orange on my sleeve Sip of tea and I believe Pour a cup, pour it slow Warm hands on the wheel, easy go Pour a cup, pour it slow Little bit of home on the road Somebody packed this for me Sugar and a memory Every mile a little sip Rain on the roof and a steady grip Last stop coming, the sky turns grey The thermos is light and the night gives way Turn the bus round, start again Warm inside and warm within Pour a cup, pour it slow Warm hands on the wheel, easy go Pour a cup, pour it slow Little bit of home on the road Pour it slow Easy go
