Almost Home Craig Morgan
Capo First Fret
[F9]He had[C] plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes
[C]He was covered with the evening news
Had a [G]pair of old wool[D] socks on his[G] hands
The bank[C] sign was flashing five below
[C]It was freezing rain and spitting snow
[G]He was curled up b[D]ehind some garbage[G] cans
[B]I was afraid that he was dead I [C]gave him a gentle shake
[B]When he opened up his eyes I said[C] "Old man, are you[D] ok" He said
Chorus
"I just climbed out of a cotton [C]wood tree
I was running from some [G]honey bees
[G/C]Drip drying in the [C]summer breeze
After jumping into [D]Calico Creek
I was walkin[G/C]g down some[C] old dirt road [Cadd9]
Past a field of hay that had [G]just been mowed [G/F#]
[Em]Man, I wish you'd just left [C]me alone
[D]Cause, I was almost [G]home"
Then he said, "[C]I's just coming round the barn
Bout the time you grabbed my arm
When [G]I heard mama [D]call: son hurry [G]up
I was[C] close enough for my old nose
To smell fresh copper on the stove
And[G] I saw daddy[D] loading up the [G]truck
[Em]
Cane poles on the tailgate
Bobbers [C]blowing in the wind
Since[Am] July of '55
That's as [C]close as I've [D]been
Chorus
Bridge
I said, [Em]"Old man you're gonna freeze to death
Let me[G] drive you to the mission"
He said,[Am] "Boy, if you'd left me alone
[C]right now, I'd be [D]fishin'"
Chorus
[Em]Man, I wish you'd[G/C] just [C]left me [D]alone
I was almost [G]home
