Rod Stewart - Country Comforts lyrics

(Bernie Taupin, Elton John)

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere

Village children always fighting for fair share

And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek

As Parson Lee prepares his service for next week

I saw grandma yesterday down at the store

Well she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four

And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn

Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm

Chorus:

And it's good old country comforts in my bones

Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known

Just an old fashioned feeling in my bones

Country comforts and the road that's going home

Down at the mill they've got a new machine

Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen

"Oh, but that ain't natural" old man Grayson says

'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days

(Chorus)
