SWEET BABY JAMES
(James Taylor)

The first of December was covered with snow
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frostin'
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go

There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me

So goodnight, you moonlight ladies
Rockabye, sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye, sweet baby James

Note from Joe Offer: The Massachusetts Turnpike is a toll road that is part of Interstate 90. It's 130 miles from Stockbridge to Boston, and takes just over two hours if the traffic isn't bad.
