Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in january, 1971<br><br>I'm moving out of tombstone, yeah with the sun behind my back<br>I'm tired of people talking of things that I lack<br>Ever since a week ago, the day he passed away<br>I've been taking too much notice of the things they've had to say<br><br>And all they say is you ain't half the man he used to be<br>He had strength and he worked his life to feed his family<br>So if that's the way it has to be, I'll say goodbye to you<br>I'm not the guy, or so it seems to fill my old man's shoes<br><br>Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed<br>They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains<br>Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do lord, lord<br>They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes
