Music by Elton John <br />Lyrics by Bernie Taupin <br /><br />When are you gonna come down <br />When are you going to land <br />I should have stayed on the farm <br />I should have listened to my old man <br /><br />You know you can't hold me forever <br />I didn't sign up with you <br />I'm not a present for your friends to open <br />This boy's too young to be singing the blues <br /><br />So goodbye yellow brick road <br />Where the dogs of society howl <br />You can't plant me in your penthouse <br />I'm going back to my plough <br /><br />Back to the howling old owl in the woods <br />Hunting the horny back toad <br />Oh I've finally decided my future lies <br />Beyond the yellow brick road <br /><br />What do you think you'll do then <br />I bet that'll shoot down your plane <br />It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics <br />To set you on your feet again <br /><br />Maybe you'll get a replacement <br />There's plenty like me to be found <br />Mongrels who ain't got a penny <br />Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
