Elton John
"Country Comfort" lyrics

Country Comfort

Soon the pines
Will be falling everywhere
Village children
Fight each other
For a share
And the 6:09 goes roaring
Past the creek
Deacon Lee
Prepares his sermon
For next week

I saw grandma yesterday
Down at the store
Well, she's really going fine
For eighty-four
Well, she asked me if sometime
I'd fix her barn
Poor old girl
She needs a hand
To run the farm

And it's good old country comfort
In my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears
Have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling
Fully-grown
Country comfort's
In a truck
That's going home

Down at the well
They got a new machine
The foreman says
It cuts man-power
By fifteen
Yeah, but that ain't natural, yeah
Well, so old Clay would say
You see, he's a horse-drawn man
Until his dying day

And it's good old country comfort
In my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears
Have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling
Fully-grown
Country comfort's
In a truck
That's going back home

And it's good old country comfort
In my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears
Have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling
Fully-grown
Country comfort's
In a truck
That's going back home

Now the old fat goose
Is flying across the sticks
The hedgehogs done
In clay between the bricks
And the rocking chairs
Are creaking on the porch
Across the valley
Moves the herdsman with his torch

And it's good old country comfort
In my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears
Have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling
Fully-grown
Country comfort's
In a truck
That's going home

Oh, country comfort's
In a truck
That's going back home
Yes, it is

Country comfort's
In a truck
That's going back home
