Be Kind to the Boy on the Road

Be Kind To The Boy On The Road - Billy Bragg/Wilco (照辦樂隊)

Who is that boy on the white winding highway

Why does he roam alone

Is he looking for life

On that white winding highway

For his parents dealt him trouble at home

You might think he's wrong standing there

On that highway

O' what a foolish young lad

But you yourself might be standing

On that highway

If you'd had his troubles on your hands

Don't point your finger at that boy

On the highway

As you travel down this road

Either give him your help

Or pass him with kindness

'Cause he's got all the trouble that he wants

Your policeman discourages that boy

On the highway

It's heard everywhere that he goes

But the best way to help that boy

On the highway

Is to fix all your troubles there at home

I've heard it said 'bout rolling stone boys

They gather no moss in their life

I'll tell you the bee that gets the honey

Ain't the bee that hands around the hive

Oh be kind to that boy

On that white winding highway

As you travel on there alone

Remember the men that wrote your Bible

Are the men who gave up their homes
