All That I'm Allowed
Music by Elton John
Lyrics
by Taupin
Breaking down never seems to be that hard
Falling short is always in the
cards
I'm on the road sun rising at my back
Lost it all somewhere
between the cracks
I've always hoped that I'd do better
That I'd come
out on top for once
We all get what we deliver
Then there are the lucky
ones
Chorus
And I got all that I'm allowed
It'll do for me, I'm thankful
now
The walls get higher every day
The barriers get in the way
But I
see hope in every cloud
And I'm thankful, thankful
I'm thankful, so thankful
I'm thankful
I've got all that I'm allowed
Leaving
town gets to feel just like a job
My desire never winds up on top
I can
say now I didn't want the moon
It's out of reach somewhere beyond
this room
Repeat second verse
Chorus
I always try to make things clear
Then I watched as progress starts
I only
hope I'm standing here
When heaven finally comes to call
Chorus
Thankful
I'm thankful, so thankful
I'm thankful
I've got all that I'm allowed
All
that I'm allowed
I'm thankful
And I've got all that I'm allowed
So thankful
And I've got all that I'm allowed
