The Captain and the Kid Lyrics » Elton John
[Verse 1]
I’ve been out here on this road some
Can’t help feeling I’ve been showin’ my friends around
I’ve seen it growin’ from next to nothin’
Into a giant, eatin’ up your town
Called up the tea leaves and the tarots
Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands, oh yeah
She saw a mountain and wild deer runnin’
A crazy kid becoming a better man
[Pre-Chorus]
But we stuck around for the fireworks
Waitin’ to explode
Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed
And me on a yellow brick road
Pleasin’ 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
[Chorus]
And you can’t go back
And if you try, it fails
Lookin’ up ahead
I see a rusty nail
A sign hangin’ from it
Sayin’, “Truth for sale”
And that’s what we did
No lies at all, just one more tale
