Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Tumbleweed Connection
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've got a new machine
The foreman says it cuts man-power by fifteen
Yeah but that ain't natural well so old Clay would say
You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
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
Country Comfort - Elton John (Tumbleweed Connection 3 of 10) (04:15)
COUNTRY COMFORT Elton John Tumbleweed Connection (1970) Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children fight each other for a share And the six-o-nine 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

Summer of 1973, will never forget it as this music was there in the background--and it can take me back anytime I heard it...I love anything Elton but this is one of his best and one of my favorites. Don't Shoot Me is a fantastic album...
