Almost Home
Lyricist:Johnny Slate, Lonnie Williams
He had plastic bags wrapped around 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 freezin' 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 okay?†He said
‽I just crawled out of a cottonwood tree I was runnin' from some honey bees Drip dryin' in the summer breeze After jumpin' into calico creekâ€
‽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 homeâ€
And he said, ‽I was just comin' 'round the barn 'Bout the time you grabbed my arm And I heard mama holler, ‽Son, hurry up†And I was close enough for my own nose To smell fresh cobbler on the stoveâ€
'And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Cane poles on the tailgate Bobbers blowin' in the wind Since July of 55, that's as close as I've beenâ€
'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 tree'
'I was walkin' down a old dirt 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'â€
'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 Man, I wish you'd just left me alone [unverified] I was almost home, I was almost home'
