Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for you friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my futures lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
[Verse 5]
What do you think you'll do then
Be that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my futures lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
