--- Start Of 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 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 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

He said I was 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 old 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

And 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'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin

And I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree
I was runnin from some honey bees
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
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
Cause I was almost home
