Craig Morgan - Almost Home lyrics

Your rating:

(Craig Morgan/Kerry Curt Phillips)



He had plastic bags wrapped ‘round his shoes

He was covered with the evenin' news

Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands

The bank sign was flashing 5 below

It was freezing rain and 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 jus' comin' round the barn

Bout the time you 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

And 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"



"Yea 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

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'da left me alone

Right now I'd be fishin'



"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'da just left me alone

'Cause I was almost home" (Almost Home)



Man I wish you'd just left me alone

I was almost home
