Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy<br><br>Captain fantastic raised and regimented, hardly a hero<br>Just someone his mother might know<br>Very clearly a case for corn flakes and classics<br>Two teas both with sugar please<br>In the back of an alley<br><br>While little dirt cowboys turned brown in their saddles<br>Sweet chocolate biscuits and red rosy apples in summer<br>For it's hay make and hey mom, do the papers say anything good.<br>Are there chances in life for little dirt cowboys<br>Should I make my way out of my home in the woods<br><br>Brown dirt cowboy, still green and growing<br>City slick captain<br>Fantastic the feedback<br>The honey the hive could be holding<br>For there's weak winged young sparrows that starve in the winter<br>Broken young children on the wheels of the winners<br>And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers are thinning<br><br>For cheap easy meals and hardly a home on the range<br>Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change<br>We've thrown in the towel too many times<br>Out for the count and when we're down<br>Captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy<br>From the end of the world to your town<br><br>And all this talk of jesus coming back to see us<br>Couldn't fool us<br>For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire<br>Hand in hand went music and the rhyme<br>The captain and the kid stepping in the ring<br>From here on sonny sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb
