Almost Home Songtext

Almost Home Songtext

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 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

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 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
