[ti:Hippie Boy] [ar:The Flying Burrito Brothers] [al:The Guilded Palace Of Sin And Burritos] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Hippie Boy - The Flying Burrito Brothers [00:27.05]I was walking down the street the other day [00:30.29]And a sight came before my eyes [00:33.99]It was a little hippie boy I must have been twice his size [00:40.19]His appearance typified his strange breed [00:44.28]Gaudy clothes long stringy hair hanging down [00:49.66]I'd seen perhaps a thousand in my early trips to town [00:56.28]As he walked beside me on down the block [00:59.61] [01:00.74]I noticed no unpleasing smell [01:02.32] [01:03.29]He might have been on the w**d or even LSD [01:07.16]But if he was I couldn't tell [01:11.04]So we walked together that way through this neighborhood [01:16.59]Finally he turned around to me [01:17.91]And he he said "Friend you know we're a million miles apart [01:26.43]But you know something we can enjoy the sunshine and the weather [01:32.08]So why don't we put our differences aside [01:36.04]And just talk to each other" [01:40.32]You see this box beneath my arm [01:43.74]To you it's plain it has no charm [01:47.28]But to someone dearest to my heart [01:49.14]This box has played a tragic part [01:53.09] [01:59.37]This little one can't tell you himself about his life and how he died [02:05.60]But if anyone else could speak for him I guess I'm qualified [02:08.46] [02:12.14]This boy was in Chicago he didn't know why he was there [02:16.32]He was with his family and friends and he didn't really care [02:24.20]You might have been one of those [02:25.54]Who saw the struggle there on your television screen [02:31.73]The tragic thing is so much else happened [02:33.53] [02:34.81]That no one else could have seen [02:36.14] [02:43.71]A stranger handed this boy a dollar to do a simple chore [02:48.07]To carry a package to a nearby hotel [02:50.05] [02:51.46]And when he returned he'd get two more [02:56.40]But when he came back he sort of lost his way [02:59.11]Walking through the crowd [03:01.42]One of them things you ask yourself how the Lord allowed [03:10.10]But when he was found he was like he is now [03:12.37] [03:13.82]Dreaming sweet and still [03:18.77]And in his little hand was a crumpled dollar bill [03:22.52] [03:28.18]Now you can take that dollar [03:30.85]Get four cents on it compound it quarterly at any downtown bank [03:39.10]So they can back some hot new tank or atom bomb [03:48.44]What I'm going to tell you now you can stay or you can leave [03:51.28] [03:53.63]You kind of listened to my story so far but just one more thing [03:59.82]It's the same for any hippie bum or hillbilly out on the street [04:06.21]Just remember this little boy and never carry more than you can eat [04:10.68] [04:14.00]Now could you help us sing this song please [04:21.45]There will be peace in the valley for him now we pray [04:32.13]I will think of the little hippie boy that way that way
