Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jamie Bell]
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
[Chorus: Jamie Bell]
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
[Verse 2: Taron Egerton]
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
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
[Chorus: Jamie Bell]
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
[Verse 2: Taron Egerton]
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
[Chorus: Taron Egerton & Jamie Bell]
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
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

Genius Annotation
When this song is played in 2019’s Rocketman, Bernie Taupin is tired of Elton John’s relentless mission to kill himself with drugs, alcohol, and the rock star life, and leaves him in frustration. The second verse sees John reflecting upon the choices that brought him to that point in life.
