It's a Joni Mitchell song!  "Strange Boy" from 'Hejira', which is definitely one of my favourite albums of all time.  And here's the little verse which is featured on my blog...

"He keeps referring back to school days
And clinging to his child
Fidgeting and bullied
His crazy wisdom holding onto something wild
He asked me to be patient
Well I failed
'Grow up!' I cried
And as, the smoke was clearing he said
'Give me one good reason why!'"

Genius!  She's without a doubt one of the best lyricists that has ever walked the earth.  Even today at like, what, 66? she's still writing some amazing toons!
