Almost Home lyrics

Almost Home
(Craig Morgan / Kerry Curt Phillips)

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 flashing "5 below
It was
freezing rain an spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
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 ok?"

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

Then he said,"I was
comin' round the barn"
Bout the time he grabbed my arm
When I heard Momma
holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my own nose
To smell fresh
cobbler on the stove
When I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Game poles on
the tailgate
Barbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of '55
That's as
close as I've been

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

I said,"old man you're gonna
freeze to death"
Let me drive you to a mission
He said,"Boy if you left
me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'

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

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 wish almost home
