(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 Letras de cancionesTo 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 From Letras Mania
