Captain Fantastic The Who later had an album Captain Fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy.

I was listening to this song this weekend and found this searching for the meaning myself. I have a feeling that a Brown Dirt Cowboy is a heroin addict. "While little Dirt Cowboys turned brown in their saddles" would be heroin in a spoon turning brown when heated.

It depends on the color of the vinyl. Some vinyl colors are more rare than others, which may affect the worth of the album.

With the album "Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy", in 1975, Elton John defined the pop music world. His album "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" debuted at #1. Later that fall he repeated the feat with "Rock of the Westies". He is the first and only artist to accomplish this. First time in Billboard history for this fabulous accomplishment. What a tremendous way to accentuate a brilliant run with seven consecutive number one albums. Started with Honky Chateau and concluded with Rock of the Westies.

Here are some songs by Elton John with lyrics about being in an alley:

Bitter Fingers
