ELTON JOHN LYRICS - Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy Lyrics

Captain fantastic, raised and regimented 
Hardly a hero, 
Just someone his mother might know, 
Very clearly a case for corn flakes and classics, 
“Two teas both with sugar please.” 
In the back of an alley. 
While little Dirt Cowboys turned brown in their saddles 
Sweet chocolate biscuits, 
And red rosy apples in summer. 
For its hay make 
And “Hey mom, do the papers say anything good. 
Are there chances in life for little Dirt Cowboys, 
Should I make my way out of my home in the woods? 

Brown Dirt Cowboy 
Still green and growing. 
City slick Captain, 
Fantastic the feedback 
The honey the hive could be holding. 
For there’s weak winged young sparrows 
That starve in the winter, 
Broken young children 
On the wheels of the winners. 
And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers 
Are thinning. 

For cheap easy meals 
Are hardly a home on the range. 
Too hot for the band 
With a desperate desire for change. 
We’ve thrown in the towel too many times 
Out for the count when we’re down 
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy 
From the end of the world to your town.
