Lyrics

Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed 
They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains 
Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord 
They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes…

II'm moving out of Tombstone, yeah with the sun behind my back
I'm tired of people talking of things that I lack
Ever since a week ago, the day he passed away
I've been taking too much notice of the things they've had to say

And all they say is you ain't half the man he used to be
He had strength and he worked his life to feed his family
So if that's the way it has to be, I'll say goodbye to you
I'm not the guy, or so it seems to fill my old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord
They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord
They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord
They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord
They seem to think I should step into the old man's shoes

I said, like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed

Oh, it’s hard and I can’t see
What they want me to do
They seem to think I should step into the old man’s shoes

There are many mysteries in life, but none greater why a song this good was not included on the original album.

I think it was just the number of great songs recorded for this album, and the space limitations of LPs at that time.  You are spot-on:  this is a fabulous track and perfect for Tumbleweed Connection.

10 other superb songs, hard to leave any out

It’s ok, Dad. You’re still very good in your own right.

Great!!!

amazing

Great guitar solo by Caleb Quaye, by the way.

great song great story and crazy good guitar solo. thanks Caleb

Not included on Tumbleweed Connection when first released; possibly, due to space limitations on the LP.  However, it was recorded specifically for that album and thanks to technology this great song is back where it has always belonged.

I recall reading that there were two tracks that did not make it onto wax, imagine a collection of songs for an album so great that this is one that was scrapped.

There was also a second verse to this song, but it got scrapped in favor of the instrumental bridge.

My favorite John album. His early work is unsurpassed.

nice one Elton

you ain't half the man you used to be bronymonster44 without zeedee

I'm moving out of Turnstone with the sun behind my back
I'm tired of people talking of things that I lack
Ever since a week ago the day he passed away
I've been taken too much notice of the things they've had to say

"Turnstone"?

"taken"?

And all they say is you ain't half the man he used to be
He had strength and he worked his life to feed his family
So if that's the way it has to be, I'll say goodbye to you
I'm not the guy, or so it seems to fill my old man's shoes

Like I'm a wicked way of life, the kind that should be tamed
They'd like to see me locked in jail and tied up in their chains
Oh it's hard and I can't see what they want me to do Lord, Lord !!!

Tumbleweed Connection the best sound when I was fourteen, yes absolutly !!!

bERNIE WAS A POET NO DOUBT AS WELL

This NOT from Tumbleweed.!!

additional track left off the album, on the Deluxe edition, like the original of Madman across the Water

Beat me to it. Imagine an album so great that those two tracks were left off.

What they want me to do ...

Lord, lord

 I now think of Robin Wlliams

lol he's not a fan....
