    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, ah, ah
    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
    Ah, ah
    What do you think you'll do then?
    I bet they'll shoot down the plane
    It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
    To set 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, ah, ah
    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
    Ah, ah

    Can I just say I don’t normally comment on videos, however here I am. Just a random person on UA-cam, in awe of this man’s voice. I have always been a believer that that originals are better than recreates, until now. I could sit and listen to this guy sing for hours. The most amazing voice, harmony, and emotion put into this song and I just can’t get enough of it. I told my husband I had always wanted to see Elton John in concert, but we never could afford it. I told him last night, if this guy ever had a concert I wanted to go so bad. Please keep singing and don’t let anyone stop you. Your voice is so amazing, and you have gained a fan !!! ❤
