GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

TEXT + MUSIK   : ELTON JOHN

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 boys 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 penthous
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 they'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 iti bits like you on the groundd.
-------------------------------------------------------
