Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

By: Elton John

Meredith Gray

When are you gonna come downWhen are you going to land?

Young man addressing the so called “American Dream” life he wanted but found out it’s really not what it seems

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

He wants to go home and regrets his decision

I'm not a present for your friends to open

This boy's too young to be singing the blues

the man doesn’t belong with the wealthy life and knows he can leave it and no one will stop him

Goodbye so called perfect life

Wont stay with you

Going back to where he belongs

HOME

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

Beyond what he originally thought was better then home

Beyond the rich life

Back to his home where he shouldn’t have left in the first

place
