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
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?'
What did
he
say,
Jelly?
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's
just
comin'
around the barn
'Bout
the time
you
grabbed
my arm
When
I
heard
mama
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
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
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
I
said
Old man
you're
gonna freeze
to death
Let me
drive you
to the
mission
He said
Boy
if you'd
left me alone
Right now
I'd
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
'Cause
I was
almost home
I was
almost home
Man
I
wish you'd
just
left me alone
'cause
I was
almost home
