So Sad The Renegade - Elton John

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

But God knows I need something too

I’ve hung in all these years for you

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

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
