Yellow Brick Road: Day 145

2008.06.11

When I was taking Amber to her friend's house, I noticed this street sign.

Enjoy a trip back to the 70's!

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
music by Elton John
lyrics by Bernie Taupin

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

LotoFoto I wish we had cool names on our streets like that here!
We have very boring or unpronounceable names LOL!
Great perspective!

mrutherford22 For some reason, Elton John isn't in my head...but the munchkins of Munchkin Land are singing "Follow the yellow brick road, follow the yellow brick road, follow, follow,follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road." :-)

Good eye!!
