Karaoké Almost Home (with Jelly Roll) Craig Morgan

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 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

What he said Jelly

I just climbed out of

I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree a cottonwood tree

I was runnin' from some

I was runnin' from some honey bees honey bees

Drip dryin' in the summer breeze

Drip dryin' in the summer breeze after jumpin' into Calico creek after jumpin' into Calico creek

I was walkin' down

I was walkin' down an old dirt road an old dirt road

Past a field of hay

Past a field of hay that had just been mowed that had just been mowed

Man I wish you'd just left me alone

Man I wish you'd just left me alone 'cos I was almost home 'cos I was almost home

Then He said I was 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

I was close enough for my old nose to smell fresh cobbler on the stove 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 fifty-five

That's as close as I've been

Yeah I just climbed out of

Yeah I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree a cottonwood tree

I was runnin' from some

I was runnin' from some honey bees honey bees

Drip dryin' in the summer breeze

Drip dryin' in the summer breeze after jumpin' into Calico creek after jumpin' into Calico creek

I was walkin' down

I was walkin' down an old dirt road an old dirt road

Past a field of hay

Past a field of hay that had just been mowed that had just been mowed

Man I wish you'd just left me alone

Man I wish you'd just left me alone 'cos I was almost home 'cos I was almost home

I said Old man you're gonna freeze to death

I said Old man you're gonna freeze to death

Let me drive you to the mission

Let me drive you to the mission

He said Boy if you'd left me alone

He said Boy if you'd left me alone right now I'd be fishin' 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

Drip dryin' in the summer breeze after jumpin' into Calico creek after jumpin' into Calico creek

I was walkin' down

I was walkin' down an old dirt road an old dirt road

Past a field of hay
