Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes

He was covered with the evening news

Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands

The bank sign was flashin' five below

It was freezing rain and spittin' snow

He was curled up behind some garbage cans

[Verse 2]

I was afraid that he was dead

I gave him a gentle shake

When he opened up his eyes

I said, "Old man are you okay?"

[Verse 3]

He said, "I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree

I was runnin' from some honey bees

Drip-dryin' in the summer breeze

After jumpin' into Calico creek

I was walkin' down an old dirt road

Past a field of hay that had just been mowed

Man, I wish you'd just left me alone

'Cause I was almost home"

[Verse 4]

Then he said, "I's just comin' 'round the barn

'Bout the time you grabbed my arm

When I heard mama holler, "Son, hurry up"

I was close enough for my old nose

To smell fresh cobbler on the stove

And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck

[Verse 5]

Cane poles on the tailgate

Bobbers blowin' in the wind

Since July of '55

That's as close as I've been"

[Verse 6]

"Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree

I was runnin' from some honey bees

Drip-dryin' in the summer breeze

After jumpin' into Calico creek

I was walkin' down an old dirt road

Past a field of hay that had just been mowed

Man, I wish you'd just left me alone

I was almost home"

[Verse 7]

I said, "Old man, you're gonna freeze to death

Let me drive you to the mission"

He said, "Boy, if you'd've left me alone

Right now I'd be fishin'"

[Verse 8]

"I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree

I was runnin' from some honey bees

Drip-dryin' in the summer breeze

After jumpin' into Calico creek

I was walkin' down an old dirt road

Past a field of hay that had just been mowed

Man, I wish you'd just left me alone

'Cause I was almost home" (Almost home)

"Man, I wish you'd just left me alone

I was almost home"
