Craig Morgan - Almost Home Lyrics

Craig Morgan - Almost Home Video

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 five 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's just 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.

 

Yeah, 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'd 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'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.
