Country Comfort (demo) Songtext
von Elton John

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children fight each other for a share
While 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
But 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 goin′ home


Down at the well they′ve got a new machine
The foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
"But that ain't natural, well", so old Clay would say
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 goin′ home

Now the old fat goose is flying 'cross the sticks
The hedgehog's done in clay between the bricks
And the rocking chair′s 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 a good old-fashioned feeling fully grown
Country comfort's in a truck that′s goin' home
Country comfort′s in a truck that's goin′ home
Country comfort's in a truck that's goin′ home
