Goodbye Yellow Brick Road lyrics

[Verse 1]
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed at 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

[Refrain]
Ah, ah-ah ah ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain]
Ah, ah-ah ah ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
[Verse 2]
What do you think you'll do then?
They'll probably shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To get you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me around
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Scraping for tidbits like you on the ground

[Refrain]
Ah, ah-ah ah ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain]
Ah, ah-ah ah ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
