Here are the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road lyrics you were looking for. It was the second single taken from the album of the same name in 1973. It reached number 6 in the UK charts and number 2 in the US.
“Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
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
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
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
There’s plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

If you get a minute could you please pop over to my Facebook Page and join us. I plan to build this page this year as I have more time on my hands since retiring. I am trying to get people to share their favourite 70s music. As you know we do not all like the same songs and it would be great to hear page members favourite 70s songs. I hope to see you there soon.
Thanks For Visiting Today. Make sure you come back as I build the site, leave a comment below if there is any singer or group you think I should add to the site.
