craig morgan - almost home (2020 - remaster) 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
[pre+chorus 1]
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?”
[chorus]
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 2]
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
[pre+chorus 2]
cane poles on the tailgate, bobbers blowin’ in the wind
since july of ’55, that’s as close as i’ve been”
[chorus]
“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”
[bridge]
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'”
[chorus]
“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”
