Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Lyrics

[The live version is available on the Fan Club Christmas CD 1998.]

 - Bernie Taupin

 (Elton John - from the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)

 When are you gonna come down

 When are you going to land

 I should have stayed on the farm

 I should have listened to my old man

 You know you can't hold me forever

 I didn't sign up with you

 I'm not a present for your friends to open

 This boy's too young to be singing the blues

 So goodbye yellow brick road

 Where the dogs of society howl

 You can't plant me in your penthouse

 I'm going back to my plough

 Back to the howling old owl in the woods

 Hunting the horny back toad

 Oh I've finally decided my future lies

 Beyond the yellow brick road

 What do you think you'll do then

 I bet that'll shoot down your plane

 It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

 To set you on your feet again

 Maybe you'll get a replacement

 There's plenty like me to be found

 Mongrels who ain't got a penny

 Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

 So goodbye yellow brick road

 Where the dogs of society howl

 You can't plant me in your penthouse

 I'm going back to my plough

 Back to the howling old owl in the woods

 Hunting the horny back toad

 Oh I've finally decided my future lies

 Beyond the yellow brick road
