(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 shes really lookin fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if some time Id fix the barn
Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm

Chorus:
And its 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 thats going home

Down at the mill theyve got a new machine
Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
Oh, but that aint natural old man grayson says
cause hes a horse-drawn man until his dying days

(chorus)
