Country Comfort - Elton John (Tumbleweed Connection 3 of 10)

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 have ever known
Just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort's any truck that's goin' 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

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 goin' home

(solo)

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 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 an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort's any truck that's goin' home

Me too, Scotty McCrery on Idol video brought me here. I love Elton, but I don't remember about this song.

Scott's country version of this song is totally awesome as well.

I'm so glad my father played this music for me :) I am a 17 year old girl, but I listen to Elton John, and my friends laugh at me... They listen to Justin Bieber, so I know deep inside that I'm the one that should laugh :p Tumbleweed Connection, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Madman Across the Water, Caribou, Rock of the Westies, Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player, Blue Moves and Captain Fantastic. I know all the songs by heart<3

@MrRayBnz Man, Tumbleweed connection...Probably one of the most underrated albums, but probably one of my favorite...wait no, this IS my favorite album. Tumbleweed Connection is my favorite album.

This is sweetest sound my ears have ever known

Elton is just great but nobody could deliver this song like Roy Baker in the 70's ! You could kick the dust off them boots while listening to that heartfelt vocal of Roy's and be transported deep in time !

@wardeleven1 The pointer sisters cant hole a candle to Patsy Cline. 

[VASINGER]

@wardeleven1 I love Country music! But he does not perform it as well as Marty Robbins or Patsy Cline would have.

@TheBeaugraham I think Juice Newton actually did the best version of this. But this is def. Elton's best album. Its his first and only Country Rock album. Im a Country music fan, and I like this.

Scotty Mcqueery's version of this song wasnt very good i laughed hard. Elton and Bernie try their hand at Country Rock British style and they did it very well. Tumbleweed Connection was a great album and this tune is my favorite from the album. Elton's 1970-1975 period was incredible he and Bernie wrote and recorded the best music of their careers in that time frame. Madman Across The Water is my favorite Elton album.
