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

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

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your 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

 

      這首歌是英國歌手Elton John在1973年發行的第七張專輯《Goodbye Yellow Brick Road》中,這是他最暢銷的專輯。這首歌的作詞者是Bernie Taupin,作曲是Elton John,這首歌的出現,影響當時的抒情搖滾走向。它的想像是來自於1939的電影《綠野仙蹤》,在電影中Dorothy 和她的朋友被引導要走黃色的磚道路,去尋找魔術師。
