Country Comforts (BBC Radio 1 Performance)

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere

Village children always fighting for a share

And the six-o-nine goes roaring past the creek

Deacon Lee prepares his service for next week

I saw grandma yesterday down at the store

Well she's really going fine for eighty-four

And she asked me if sometime I'd fix the 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 any truck that's going home

Down at the well they've got a new machine

Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen

"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 fat old goose is flying cross the sticks

The hedgehog's done in clay across the bricks

And the rocking chairs a-creakin' 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 any truck that's going home
