[Verse 1]
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Little children fight each other for a share
And the 609 goes roaring past the creek
Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
[Verse 2]
I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Man, 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
[Chorus]
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 comforts in a truck that's going home
[Verse 2]
Down at the well they got a new machine
The foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
"Yeah, but that ain't natural!" or so old Clay would say
You see, he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
[Chorus]
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
'Bout the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comforts in a truck that's going home
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Yes it's good old country comfort in my bones
'Bout the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comforts in a truck that's going home
[Verse 3]
Now the old fat goose is flying 'cross the sticks
That ol' hog's stuck in the clay between the bricks
And the rocking chair's been creaking on the porch
Across the valley I see a farmer with his torch
[Chorus]
Yes it's good old country comfort in my bones
'Bout the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comforts in a truck that's going home
Country comforts in a truck that's going back home
Country comforts in a truck that's going back home, yeah
Country Comfort was written by Bernie Taupin & Elton John.
Jesse Dayton released Country Comfort on Fri Aug 09 2019.
Jesse Dayton spoke to Rolling Stone about why he chose to cover Elton John’s “Country Comfort”:
I’ve been singing this song since I was a kid and always loved the Rod Stewart and the Faces version, too. Amazing that Elton had the guts to put a full-blown country eight-bar pedal steel guitar solo in...
