此首《Goodbye Yellow Brick Road》如同以往,由Elton John的歌搭Bernie Taupin,Elton John自己曲,收在1973行的同名中,曲然在英、美排行榜只分得第6及第2名,唱片在美大,得金唱片(1974)及白金唱片(1995)的。此曲受的好,有些甚至是Elton John最好的一首歌。
由歌名直,是《再了!路》,而「Yellow Brick Road」其是引用1939改自童故事的影《The Wizard of Oz》( 台:野仙 ),影中的女主角桃 ( Dorothy ) 犬著稻草人、人及子就是由「路」出,前往Oz ( ),找他各自希望得的「」、「心」及「勇」,最後然都「如以」,而其些都是他早已俱的,只是信心及未努力去掘了。
此曲所表述的,是在追求成功的路上,然接到富和,受到多不平和欺凌,而悟回到原的生活才是幸福。如同《野仙》一行人抵了Oz的翡翠城 ( Emerald City ),才知士 ( The Wizard of Oz ) 施法只是局 ( 寓意追的目只是幻?),而桃最後也是如回到原叔父母居住生活的。
2010,此曲在石500最佳歌曲中排名第380。

When are you gonna come down
你何才下?
When are you going to land
何才到地面上?
I should have stayed on the farm
我留在忙的
I should have listened to my old man
我早我老的
You know you can't hold me forever
你明白你法永把我留住
I didn't sign up with you
我有和你下合
I'm not a present for your friends to open
也不是你送朋友的物
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
我太年了,不愁滋味
So goodbye yellow brick road
再了,路
Where the dogs of society howl
有才敢大的地方
You can't plant me in your penthouse
你法把我在
I'm going back to my plough
我要回去田活
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
回到森林找夜啼的老
Hunting the horny back toad
捕捉背脊嶙峋的蟾蜍
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
我已定自己未的方向
Beyond the yellow brick road
在那路之外
What do you think you'll do then
你你能做什?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
我打那使你一地
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
那必用倍的伏特加和奎酒
To set you on your feet again
才能你重新振作起
Maybe you'll get a replacement
也你可以找到人代替
There's plenty like me to be found
像我的人多的是
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
我是一文不值的
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
像你一想在地上嗅到一些好
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
