Be Kind to the Boy on the Road

Lyrics

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!
