Yellow Brick Road

The [mean, mean author?] that I can't ignore
That I'm not blinded by the talk [amore?]
I count my money when I'm out the door
I'm smarter than you give me credit for

I came with nothin' and I built this home
No, I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road
Dreams are paved with fool's gold
So I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road
I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road

I could drink my whiskey from a higher shelf
I could sell my soul to the devil himself
There's a snake in the water, there's a shark at the helm
I could take my chances but it wouldn't help

I came with nothin' and I built this home
No, I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road
Dreams are paved with fool's gold
So I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road
I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road


Time moves faster every passing year
The world's much bigger than it used to be
I sleep much better when my house is clean
These shoes are pretty but they're not for me

I came with nothin' and I built this home
No, I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road
Dreams are paved with fool's gold
So I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road
I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road

I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road
I don't wanna walk down your yellow brick road
