Almost Home
Craig Morgan, Kerry Kurt Phillips
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 five below
It was freezing rain an' 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?"
He said, 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
Then he said, I was just comin' round the barn
'Bout the time he grabbed my arm
When I heard momma holler, son hurry up
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

Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home
I said, "Old man you're gonna freeze to death
Let me drive you to a mission"
He said, "Boy if you'd left me alone
Right now I'd be fishin'

Dann sagte er, ich kam gerade um die Scheune herum
'Bout the time he grabbed my arm
Zu der Zeit, als er meinen Arm packte
When I heard momma holler, son hurry up
Als ich Mama hörte, rief sie: Sohn, beeil dich
I was close enough for my own nose
Ich war nah genug, um mit meiner eigenen Nase
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
Den frischen Kuchen auf dem Herd zu riechen
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Und ich sah, wie Papa den LKW belud
