"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" lyrics
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
(originally by Elton John)
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
So, what do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'll 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 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
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
I've finally decided my future lies
I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Thank you so much, everyone. Peace and love. I'm so grateful, thank you

Mandy Moore - "The Forever Now" They say time will tell
But I think he likes to keep secrets
So we'll wait and see
But it's just as well
The years can be counted in seconds
That's fine with me
'Cause I get this moment with you,...
Nickel Creek - "Out Of The Woods" I wish you out of the woods
And into the picture with me.
I wish you over the moon,
Come out of the question and be. If this going to
Run round in my head
I might as well be dreaming.
Run...
Aoife O'Donovan - "Nebraska" I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed-off.410 on my lap
Through to...
Elton John - "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore" You may not believe it
But I don't believe in miracles anymore
And when I think about it
I don't believe I ever did for sure
All the things I've said in songs
All the purple prose you bought from me...
Ray LaMontagne - "We'll Make It Through" Had our share of the pain
Of the clouds, and the rain
Lean on me
And I'll lean on you
And together, we'll get through
We always do
We always do
I know you're scared 'cause
You can't see the light...
