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

left me alone
'Cause
I
was almost
home
