I had this album on repeat during flights to and back from Phoenix not long after the release. I can't hear it without thinking of that trip....in the desert on my birthday and getting sunburned in November....
I've been out on this road some Can't help feeling I've been showing my friends around I've seen it growing from next to nothing Into a giant eating up your town Called up the tealeaves and the tarots Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands, oh yeah She saw a mountain and wild deer running A crazy kid becoming a better man But we stuck around for the fireworks Waiting to explode Shaped our futures, you a Tumbleweed And me on a Yellow Brick Road Pleasing the people some of the time For better or for worse An urban soul in a fine silk suit And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt And you can't go back And if you try it fails Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale" And that's what we did No lies at all just one more tale About the Captain and the kid We've been missing at times in action Can't imagine what he said he might do for you, oh yeah The devil got to come to the party sometimes But he never got to wear our shoes Oh we've conjured up what we created Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels Now you're riding off into the sunset And I'm still spinning like a Catherine wheel But we stuck around for the battle Waiting for a plan To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy And me into a Rocket Man It pleases the people some of the time Digging into our roots But I got a brand new pair of shoes And you're on a horse in your old cowboy boots And you can't go back And if you try it fails Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale" And that's what we did No lies at all just one more tale About the Captain and the kid No, you can't go back And if you try it fails Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale" And that's what we did No lies at all just one more tale About the Captain and the kid
Everyone who pays attention knows Sir Elton did not write the lyrics to his songs Most where Bernie Taupin.But the worthy question might be his suggestions or ideas.One example Eltob a Marilyn Monroe fan Candle in the Wind.And then some other5.
Awesome Song and Album ...one of my favs .. Go Elton ... God Bless you
Great song - one of my favourites - great performance. Poor Bob Birch but what sweet memories he left behind for us.

Very cool - still one of my favourites. Thx for upload!
I've been out on this road some
Can't help feeling I've been showing my friends around
I've seen it growing from next to nothing
Into a giant eating up your town
Called up the tealeaves and the tarots
Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands, oh yeah
She saw a mountain and wild deer running
A crazy kid becoming a better man
But we stuck around for the fireworks
Waiting to explode
Shaped our futures, you a Tumbleweed
And me on a Yellow Brick Road
Pleasing the people some of the time
For better or for worse
An urban soul in a fine silk suit
And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt
And you can't go back
And if you try it fails
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
And that's what we did
No lies at all just one more tale
About the Captain and the kid
We've been missing at times in action
Can't imagine what he said he might do for you, oh yeah
The devil got to come to the party sometimes
But he never got to wear our shoes
Oh we've conjured up what we created
Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels
Now you're riding off into the sunset
And I'm still spinning like a Catherine wheel
But we stuck around for the battle
Waiting for a plan
To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy
And me into a Rocket Man
It pleases the people some of the time
Digging into our roots
But I got a brand new pair of shoes
And you're on a horse in your old cowboy boots
And you can't go back
And if you try it fails
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
And that's what we did
No lies at all just one more tale
About the Captain and the kid
No, you can't go back
And if you try it fails
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
And that's what we did
No lies at all just one more tale
About the Captain and the kid
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can't wait for the release of "The Diving Board"

The Captain and The Kid (Live)
Captain and the Kid album was good, but The Union is better!
