Almost Home (2020 - Remaster) Lyrics by Craig Morgan

God, Family, Country (Deluxe Edition)

2020

[Verse 1]
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 flashin' five below
It was freezing rain and spittin' snow
He was curled up behind some garbage cans
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 okay?"
[Chorus]
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"
[Verse 2]
Then he said, "I's just comin' 'round the barn
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When I heard mama 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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cane poles on the tailgate, bobbers blowin' in the wind
Since July of '55, that's as close as I've been"
[Chorus]
"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"
[Bridge]
I said, "Old man, you're gonna freeze to death
Let me drive you to the mission"
He said, "Boy, if you'd've left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'"
[Chorus]
"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"
