When are you gonna come down?
When are you goin' to land?
I should've stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffin' 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 goin' 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?
Bet they'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
You know they can't hold you 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, ah, ah

So goodbye, yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm goin' 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, ah, ah
