Country Comfort
Embracing the Warmth of Rural Serenity
Lyrics
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Anticipation of pine trees falling, indicating a seasonal change.
As the village children fight each other for their share
Illustrating a community's struggle for resources or unity.
And the six-o-nine goes roaring past the creek
A passing train (six-o-nine) near a creek, suggesting rural settings.
As Deacon Lee prepares his sermon for next week
Deacon Lee preparing a sermon, portraying religious activity.
I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Grandma's well-being noted during a visit to the store.
Well she's really doing fine for eighty-four
Positive health update on Grandma, aged eighty-four.
And she asked me if sometime I could fix her barn
Grandma's request for assistance in fixing her barn.
The poor old girl she needs a hand to run the farm
Highlighting Grandma's need for help in running the farm.
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
Expressing comfort and a sense of belonging in the countryside.
It's the sweetest sound these ears have ever known
The joy derived from the familiar and comforting sounds.
It's just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Describing a nostalgic and mature sense of comfort.
Country comfort in a heart that's going back home
Country comfort as a returning emotion when going home.
Down at the well they've got a new machine
Introduction of a new machine at the well affecting labor.
The foreman says it'll cut manpower by fifteen
The foreman's claim of reduced manpower due to the machine.
Hey but that ain't natural old Clay would say
Old Clay's objection to the machine as unnatural.
You see he's a horse-drawn man until his dying day
Highlighting a character's dedication to traditional, horse-drawn methods.
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
Reiteration of the comfort derived from the countryside.
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
Emphasizing the enduring nature of country comfort.
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
Continuation of the theme of comfort rooted in the countryside.
Country comfort in a heart that's going back home
Final expression of comfort associated with returning home.
