John, Elton - So Sad The Renegade Lyrics
You say I can't understand
The highway's hold on a troubled man
You want me but you don't know how
To quit the chase and settle down
You fill that saddle pretty well
But God knows I need something too
I've hung in all these years for you
[Chorus:]
So go ahead and chase the wind
And if someday you fold your wings
I'll be the nest you never made
If not, so sad the renegade
So sad that you lost me
Was balanced in the games you play
You'll lose so sad the renegade
You always had a cowboy heart
A wild horse running through the dark
A need to touch the jagged edge
To wrap your heels upon the ledge
Everyone who's close to you
Reads your book and sees the clues
Tries to set you straight on me
The love you lose won't set you free
[Chorus]
It's only love that keeps me here
Something in you I hold so dear
I'm not out to change your ways
All I want is the chance to say
[Chorus]
Go ahead and chase the wind
And if someday you fold your wings
I'll be the nest you never made
If not, so sad the renegade

You say I can't understand
The highway's hold on a troubled man
You want me but you don't know how
To quit the chase and settle down
I don't know but I can tell
You fill that saddle pretty well

chorus:
So go ahead and chase the wind
And if someday you fold your wings
I'll be the nest you never made
If not, so sad the renegade
So sad that you lost me
When all you ever had to be
Was balanced in the games you play
You'll lose so sad the renegade
You always had a cowboy heart
A wild horse running through the dark
A need to touch the jagged edge
To wrap your heels upon the ledge
Everyone who's close to you
Reads your book and sees the clues
Tries to set you straight on me
The love you lose won't set you free

It's only love that keeps me here
Something in you I hold so dear
I'm not out to change your ways
All I want is the chance to say

Bernie taupin the greatest lyricist the world has ever seen .
Classic Elton song
actually. davey johnstone was in on the writing of this song
B Side songs are better than the most songs in 《Peachtree Road》, especially "So Sad The Renegade". Music and lyrics are so powerful. Bridge section is the best part of the song. I can't believe elton exclude this song on album.. WHY?? this is definitely one of the best Elton songs from 2000s.
I'm agree with mr durnil. this song should have been a single, or included on Peachtree Road. (Just like "England And America" from Wonderful Crazy Night) a Huge huge mistake. hope this song and rest of the B side songs will re-released someday.
Great song. Bernie Taupin had to have written this.
+R Paz He did. This is from the Peachtree Road sessions.
Excellent. A bit country & western.
This song should have been in the movie "Brokeback Mountain". It would have been a hit.
How in the hell did Elton toss this off??? This is easily his best song since his heyday, and easily a #1 hit.
He needs to re-issue it.
This is insanely good! Elton HAS to do a double album of B-sides from the last 25 years. Global no.1 no risk !!!!
Absolutely the best b-side from Elton's catalog - this song is one of his greatest songs one the last 10 years, and should have been a #1 hit on it's own. Why he didn't include it on Peachtree is beyond me.
Also, it seems to re-tell the Brokeback Mountain story - was it written as a theme for the movie? It just seems the lyrics match the story too well.
could you like send me this song as an MP3? where do you find these hidden gems!?
Elton's new album The Union, with Leon Russell, is superb
Hi, great collection of rarities. Thanks for posting. I did read once that they never went into the studio to record B sides...they just chose what they thought was the best of the best. I agree some great stuff got tossed aside.
One of my favorite B-sides. It's SO yummy!
I get never tired of listening to Elton when he
sings such kind of melody. Awesome.
This song is frickin' fantastic, no?!?!?!

i need this song.the new version
