Elton John
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
[Verse 1]
When are you gonna come home?
When are you going to land?
Shoulda stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
[Pre-Chorus]
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
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
[Chorus]
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You laughed at me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Chasin’ the horny-back toad
I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
[Verse 2]
What are you going to do then?
Guess they’ll shoot down the plane
Gonna take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe you'll find a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Howlin’ for handouts like you on the ground
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
[Chorus]
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the hounds of society howl
You laughed at me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Chasin’ the horny-back toad
I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
