Almost Home Remix (Craig Morgan & Jelly Roll Cover)

[Intro] [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 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?" [Chorus] What he said Jelly,"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] 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" [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 [Bridge] 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'" [Guitar Solo] [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 [Outro] I was almost home Man I wish you'd just left me alone Cause I was almost home
