Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Lyrics
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
Please... please... tell me both of y'all are joking?
This is a cover of an Elton John song... One of his most famous, actually...
I'm surprised this song hasn't gotten any comments! It's beautiful. I'm gonna go ahead and guess at what it means.. haha. What i got from it was the idea that you can't stay home forever.. "You know you can't hold me forever".. and that you need to find your own path in life, not just follow ones already set out.. "So goodbye yellow brick road.. where the dogs of society howl".. "Oh i've finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick road". Really gorgeous song. Love it.
yeah it's such a perfect song about memory of past adoreable song ,,,,, don't miss it
