Elton John - The Ballad Of Danny Bailey lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road<br><br>Some punk with a shotgun killed young danny bailey<br>In cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel<br>Killed him in anger, a force he couldn't handle<br>Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life<br>And there's not many knew him the way that we did<br>Sure enough he was a wild one, but then aren't most hungry kids<br><br>Now it's all over danny bailey<br>And the harvest is in<br>Dillinger's dead<br>I guess the cops won again<br>Now it's all over danny bailey<br>And the harvest is in<br><br>We're running short of heroes back up here in the hills<br>Without danny bailey we're gonna have to break up our stills<br>So mark his grave well `cause kentucky loved him<br>Born and raised a proper, I guess life just bugged him<br>And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by<br>A running gun youngster in a sad restless age
