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 freezing rain and spitting 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 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 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 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 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 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 your gonna freeze to death let me drive you to the mission He said boy if you'd left me alone right now id be fishin' 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...I was almost home I was almost home
