LYRICS:
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
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 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

REPEAT CHORUS

I SAID, "OLD MAN YOU'RE GONNA FREEZE TO DEATH"
LET ME DRIVE YOU TO THE MISSION
HE SAID, "BOY IF YOU LEFT ME ALONE RIGHT NOW I'D BE FISHIN”

REPEAT CHORUS

MAN I WISH YOU'D JUST LEFT ME ALONE
‘CAUSE I WAS ALMOST HOME
MAN I WISH YOU'D JUST LEFT ME ALONE
I WAS ALMOST HOME

My Daddy, Sgt. Charles A. Silcox, United States Army, passed on December 26th 2021.
In his last couple months he would be talking to his family that had already passed. We would wake him for his meds and its would startle him, PTSD.
He would say " Man, why did you wake me up...?"
Daddy told us stories of Vietnam and the Dairy Farm he grew up on.
I played and sang this song at his service, right before the 21 guns, and the 2 soldiers folded Old Glory and presented to my Mother.
God Bless Our Soldiers!
Thank You Sir for a wonderful song!
Love You Daddy!!! Thank You for Everything!!! See You Later!!

I'm 70 yrs old and have had and lost so many friends that it saddens my heart to the edge. The one constant in my life has been good music and this is good music. Oh and the other constant has been Jesus and I thank him for all of it.

[orangecub]

My dad has stage 4 cancer…This song makes me think of him and what’s to come. Please pray for him. God bless y’all.

[JaimeHernandez-hcoq]

I think any of us raised in the country can understand how very powerful this song is. Takes me right back to my childhood

[Elmax.dps]

I was in prison and in the hole for 6 months and this song and prayer is the only way I found hope. All glory to God.❤

[sissarno]

My mom passed 7 19 22, her last cognitive words were " look at all the beautiful apples!" Her daddy planted apple trees on their property when she was a child. ❤

[jamesbell]

I'm a black man born and raised a country boy.small town Missouri.West Harmondale missouri.on the Arkansas boarder.nothing but old dirt roads one stop light and a old country general store.dad and granddad listen to country music, they hunted, fished and raised hogs on a hog farm, drove tractors and plowed farm land of cotton, beans, and wheat.Good memories they gave me.paw gone now but I know he's looking down on me . simply how I turned out as a man.❤I loved country.

[bluedazz]

I just finished talking with my son. I have worried about him for years. He has finally found the right path for him. He told me he heard this song on the radio on his way to work and had to pull over due to the tears welling up in his eyes. Your song touched him deeply and me too. God bless you.

[briantampa]

Craig Morgan is probably one of the most underrated singers of all time. Amazing talent!!!

[caffeinequeen]

I think this song takes everyone back to that "one moment" in their childhood. For me, I'm about 11 or 12. My mom was teaching me to skip rocks in a small creek in between softball games. I fell in and had to pitch soaking wet. It was one of the best games I ever had. My coach told me i should be thrown in before all games. My mom has since passed and I would give just about anything to spend that day skipping rocks with her again.

[danialhahn]

He’s talking about saving a homeless person from Cold n Snow and the homeless person was on his way home. Amazing song I can barely get the words to come out. Epic song. Should have tons of Grammys.

[annem]

to me, this song was so under appreciated. it should have won every award. I love it so much.

[JessicaDunn-fibl]

reminds me of my childhood and my grandmother and granddaddy. Tears came to my eyes. I’m a veteran and a boxer. I broke down. I’ve been up north for almost 20 years and I want to go home, but due to life I can’t. 5 more years! Please god let me get home. I left as a boy just 18. I’m almost home.

[vivianramage]

My brother is in a hospital and his organs are shutting down. He has been fighting an illness and has been in hospital the most part since April 2. He's a Veteran!
I am so proud to be his sister. He's going to be with family in Heaven. We haven't been allowed to visit because of this virus, he never had it but we still couldn't visit until yesterday when they told us to come say goodbye. This song is perfect.

[katiefaith]

Makes me think of my 89-year-old Pop Laying in an assisted living paralyzed on one side after several strokes, all the years of watching him work on john deere tractors, just an illinois farm boy wishing he could go home now😢 Lord please show mercy❤

[kevinstuart]

I don't know how 155 people can dislike this It's been a favorite of mine since he released it.

[chuckhatfield]

I was homeless under a bridge in my hometown. Alcohol inaliated everything worthwhile in my life. Heard this song right after I went to get help. My sister committed suicide is a direct result of alcoholism and drug addiction so when I heard this song it ripped me to pieces. It's so well written it should be in the Hall of Fame

[shadowlovescats]

"Canepoles on the tailgate, bobbers blowing in the wind, since July of 55 that's as close as I've been" OMG that gets me every time I hear it!!😭

[superman]

My great grandfather died a few weeks ago. His last words were, “look Joey Ive caught a big one” Joey was his son that had died about 20 years ago. I guess he couldn’t wait any longer
