The Captain And The Kid Lyrics - The Captain And The Kid - Elton John

(Ah, hey, ah, yeah, yeah) 

(Ah, hey, ah, yeah) 

(Ah, hey, ah, yeah, yeah) 

(Ah, hey, ah, yeah) 

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 

She saw a mountain and wild deer running 

A crazy kid becoming a better man

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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, oh yeah, yeah 

Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail, oh yeah, yeah 

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!) 

(Ah, hey, ah, yeah, yeah) 

(Ah, hey, ah, yeah) 

(Ah, hey, ah, yeah, yeah) 

(Ah, hey, ah, yeah) 

We've been missing at times in action 

Can't imagine what he said he might do for you 

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, oh yeah, yeah 

Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail, oh yeah, yeah 

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!)
