  1. Here are the rest of Elton and Bernie Taupin's lyrics to the song....quite appropriate don't you think?

    Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy

    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 it's 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 and 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 and when we're down

    Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

    From the end of the world to your town

    And all this talk of Jesus coming back to see us

    Couldn't fool us

    For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire

    Hand in hand went music and the rhyme

    The Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring

    From here on sonny sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb
