Lyrics

[00:18.08] Who is that boy on the white winding highway
[00:22.46]
[00:24.17] Why does he roam alone
[00:29.18]
[00:30.32] Is he looking for life
[00:31.80]
[00:32.35] On that white winding highway
[00:35.00]
[00:35.56] For his parents dealt him trouble at home
[00:43.17]
[00:45.91] You might think he's wrong standing there
[00:49.26] On that highway
[00:51.03]
[00:52.73] O' what a foolish young lad
[00:56.77]
[00:58.55] But you yourself might be standing
[01:01.79] On that highway
[01:03.55]
[01:04.50] If you'd had his troubles on your hands
[01:09.92]
[01:22.25] Don't point your finger at that boy
[01:25.56] On the highway
[01:26.98]
[01:28.47] As you travel down this road
[01:32.86]
[01:34.61] Either give him your help
[01:36.07]
[01:36.76] Or pass him with kindness
[01:39.87] 'Cause he's got all the trouble that he wants
[01:49.60] Your policeman discourages that boy
[01:54.06] On the highway
[01:55.13]
[01:57.02] It's heard everywhere that he goes
[02:01.84]
[02:02.79] But the best way to help that boy
[02:06.29] On the highway
[02:07.55]
[02:08.20] Is to fix all your troubles there at home
[02:12.29]
[02:26.46] I've heard it said 'bout rolling stone boys
[02:32.27]
[02:32.80] They gather no moss in their life
[02:37.71]
[02:38.90] I'll tell you the bee that gets the honey
[02:43.35]
[02:44.09] Ain't the bee that hands around the hive
[02:53.82]
[02:54.45] Oh be kind to that boy
[02:56.44] On that white winding highway
[02:59.30]
[03:01.02] As you travel on there alone
[03:05.11]
[03:06.91] Remember the men that wrote your Bible
[03:11.78]
[03:12.41] Are the men who gave up their homes
