Almost Home lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Almost Home lyrics 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 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." Then he said: "I w s just 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. Cane poles on the tailgate, Bobbers blowin in the wind. Since July of 55, That s as close as I ve been." "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." I said: "Old man you re gonna freeze to death, "Let me drive you to the mission." He said: "Boy, if you left me alone, "Right now, I d be fishin ." "I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree. I was runnin from some honey bees. drip dryin in the summer breeze, After jumpin in to 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." song lyrics
