BLUES FOR BABY AND ME
Elton John
Don't Shoot Me (I'm Only The Piano Player) (1973)
Your old man got mad when I told him we were leaving
He cursed and he raged and he swore at the ceiling
He called you his child, said honey get wise to his game
He'll get you in trouble I know it, those bums are all the same
There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us
So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus
And it's all over now
Don't you worry no more
Gonna go west to the sea
The greyhound is swaying
And the radio is playing
Some blues for baby and me
And the highway looks like it never did
Lord it looks so sweet and so free
And I can't forget that trip to the west
Singing blues for baby and me
Saw your hands trembling, your eyes opened in surprise
It's ninety in the shade babe, and there ain't a cloud in the sky
I called you my child, said honey now this is our game
There's two of us to play it and I'm happy to be home again
There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us
So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus

Sometimes hearing this song reminds me I've so long in one place, too long in one place, for a gypsy soul.8 years ago

My brother used to play this album all of the time back in the day and now I have it on CD and Elton will always be one of my favorite musicians as well! Have always liked this song and it is very underrated.9 years ago

And this... blues for Alpha, Beta and me...9 years ago

Horribly underrrated song/ recording. As Elton does his usual outstanding percussion-piano, Nigel Olsson puts on a drumming clinic here while Davey Johnstone and Paul Buckmaster were more than ready for the challenge.9 years ago

Is it just me or does the intro sound just like the riff from "Alone again or" by Love?9 years ago
Carlito

When my newborn baby girl was fussy at 2:00 a.m., I would put this song on and dance with her on my shoulder until she fell asleep. Hard to put the feelings into words when I hear this 22 years later......9 years ago

One of my all time favorite song. Wish he'd play it in past concerts I've attended. Beautiful music and song! 9 years ago

Love the lyrics by Taupin here. Really strong imagery and tells a very good story. And Elton's melody complements the lyrics really well. 9 years ago

Always thought this album was tragically overshadowed by "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road "9 years ago

I wore this album out to. Parents had a big console stereo and I spent hours listening to this album. Headphones always. I like the production of Gus Dudgeon it sounds so good. To me this is strong elton, not an expert though. I really like Nigel Olsen's drum work on this too. Probably stands out more than anything to me.9 years ago
