Damn! Another good one!!!

I remember Jimmie Hay playing and singing this back in the day... (and yes, it was Wednesday, lol!) BTW, I posted a picture of somebody who looks a lot like Jimmie used to, but I think legally if I identified the photo's subject as Jimmie I'd have to find him (number one) and have him sign some sort of release form (number 2). So, we'll just go with "An unknown person playing guitar in a tent that may or may not be in Richmond, Michigan."

COUNTRY COMFORTS

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 she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn
Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm

And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feeling, fully grown...
Country comforts and a truck that's going home

Down at the mill they've got a new machine
Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
"Oh, but that ain't natural" old man Grayson says
'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days

And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feeling, fully grown...
Country comforts and a truck that's heading home
