Almost Home Craig Morgan
Capo 1st fret
[C]He had plastic bags wrapped round his shoes
[C]He was covered with the evening news
[G]Had a pair of wool[D] socks on his [G]hands
[C]The banks sign was flashing five below
[C]It was freezin rain and spittin snow
[G]He was curled up [D]behind some gar[G]bage cans
(bridge)
[B]I was afraid that he was dead, I g[C]ave him a gentle shake
[B]When he opened up his eyes I said, O[C]ld man are you o[D]k , He said
(Chorus)
I just climbed out of the cotton [C]wood tree
I was running from some honey b[G]ee’s
Drip-drying in the summer [C]breeze
After jumpin into Calecoe [D]Creek
I was walkin down an old [C]dirt road
Past a field of hey that had [G]just been mowe[G/F#]d
[Em]Man I wish you’d just [C]left me alone
[D]Cause I was almost [G]home
Then he said, I was just comin round the barn,
Bout the time you grabbed my arm
I heard momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my own nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
I saw daddy loadin up the truck
(bridge)
cane poles on the tailgate, bobbler’s blowin in the wind
since July of 55, that’s as close as I’ve been, Yea
(go to chorus)
[D]I said old man you’re gonna freeze to death,
Let me [Em]drive you to the mission
He said [C]boy if you’d left me alone
Right [D]now I’d be [Dsus]fishi[/]n[D]
(chorus) 2x’s
man I wish you’d just left me alone
I was almost home
