Craig Morgan - Almost Home 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
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
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home"
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"
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"
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'"
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"
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
Cause I was almost home (almost home)
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home

2020 and this song still hits the feels
Damn Good Song!!
2020 still here!
Love this song ❤️
December 2019
Sometimes dreams are all you have
It’s gonna be ok
Both my Grandparents on my Dad's side are home been for about 10 or so years
makes me cry everytime...My Mom who passed in 2015 so lived this life!
The 1.5k that disliked this is nuts
12/14/2019. I feel kinda bad for them that aint listenin'.
So many things in this song, you could grow up normal and end up homeless. You will remember events and special people not things(money) in your life. I too long for the innocent of being a child again sometimes.
That line about the mission.
Bet I’ll be that old man.
One of my favorites !!
Thank you for this. My old ears were having trouble with some of the words.....This makes me cry. I could wish everyone could go like this. Get right with God, folks, as a Hospice Nurse, I have seen some passings that were every bit this sweet. God bless every homeless person and those who rescue them.
Who else cried
My grandpa is home doing all these things ❤ one day ill be up there with him when the good lord says its time for me to go. I miss you grandpa! R.I.P Gone but never forgotten. Its never a goodbye its always see you later.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Fishing in the dark
There’s too much to live for I promise believe me I’ve lost a lot in this life you can tell me what you lost and I’ve lost just as much as you
I got to spend a week with my grandfather before he passed, and he said he was seeing angels with his mom, dad and younger brother "they all passed 20+yrs ago". I would have flown 100,000 miles to spend that week with him, I was blessed to go back home and see him. He passed 9 days after I left "3 months ago". Yesterday was the first thanksgiving in 36yrs that I haven't talked to him, it was really hard. Grandpa, I know you're doing great and are seeing things we on earth can't even imagine. Enjoy the view grandpa, you've earned it.
Thanksgiving 2019?
i usst climdid out of a cooton wood tree drip drying
Stand with you my friend.
This song still gives me chills when I sing it. This is true country music!!
this song makes me cry idk why but it reminds me of my father god bless his soul i miss. u so much
Just where did music go like this one? Such a sweet song.
I would have been really upset when he woke me up I would give my life in a second to go back home
Who hits dislike on such a beautiful song?
Lots of missed spelled words in these lyrics 🤔
Almost home Mama 💙
Beautiful lyrics, painted a scene well
RIP to Craig Morgan's son.
Awesome
Ugh. Chills
I will Love this Classic anyone Agree
Mom an pa .....
Pretty song
This hits home for people who are living an empty life. People who constantly vision going back in time to a better place. Im one of those people.
your lyrics are hard to read because of all the misspelled words
I didnt see any misspellings I saw the real lyrics. Its country music
My grandpa had a major stroke. He "died " several times on the way to the hospital. They brought him back and he lingered on machines for several weeks before passing. Every time he seemed awake, he seemed miserable. This always makes me think of him. I also heard it driving home after he passed. He was a good ole country boy, grew up in a holler in KY.
I was in Mississippi State prison when this came out... always reminded me of home
Grandpa, dad I hope y'all are fishin' ❤️ I miss you both more than words can even describe I love you guys dad I miss you every single day 😢💔 I'll see you again one day when I come home ❤️
I miss you dad 💔
i love you grandpa 1935-2008

My girlfriend pass sunday when I hear this I 😭😭😭😭

Just found this after hearing about Craig’s son. I bet this song has a whole new meaning to him. I love it.
I love this song!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
One of the best country singer every love listing to his music and his new song love it
Love this song
I am. Yesterday I woke up with this song, the line about the cottonwood tree playing in my head, but couldn't remember the artist. It has been one of my favorites since i first heard it in 2003? Sorry to hear about your son, but it is my belief that he is alive and well in heaven. I feel for you that have to miss him.
This song has a special place for me.
Mom my passed away in 2014 after 42 years of marriage to my stepdad. For the next year and a half, I would stop everyday to see him. He missed her terribly. I came in one day and he was laying in his chair with his eyes closed I couldn't tell if he was breathing, so I gently woke him and asked if he was okay. He had tears in his eyes and told me he was dreaming of holding my mom again and was just going to kiss her, when I woke him up. He died in his sleep two months later, in her arms and finally kissing her again.
He was finally where he belonged.
I didn't pay much attention to this song, until I lived it.
Thanks to Craig Morgan for this song.
i am listening 2019
My dad went home 2004 This song reminds me of so much of dad
I'd rather drink and walk than drink and drive
I don’t listen to country. Can’t stand it. But I remember this song from when I was 19 and working in an auto repair shop.
That was 15 years ago. I’ve seen a lot of the world now, I’ve seen the pain in the eyes of the homeless...hearing this song now, I’m shedding tears.
One of my favorite pass times...Craig Morgan music!
Never got to meet my grandpa but I will once God calls me upstairs
I can’t listen to this song without crying 😢
To my cousin Thad Mosley in WASKOM ,TX man do you remember us riding the horses down that dirt road to the perch pond in the 70s taking grand pa s moonshine 😌 I'd give anything to go back to 75 cous definitely our best years as down home country boys I LOVE YOU THAD MARK JOHNSON CAYUGA,TX

Prayers for you and your family, its never easy but we have to trust In God and give it all to him. My mother has been gone since 2013 and my father since 2016.

I love these older songs. Brings back lots of memories.
Played this at my Dad's funeral. 11 years later, still brings tears to my eyes.

The unknown story about this song is that was a homeless man who was at deaths door and his life was flashing before his eyes
Bittersweet ♥️

Very old....But speaks alot
Hia shoes????

Love this song June 29 2019
I just had a really nostalgic night with my nephew- we went to Hershey Park and he wanted to get on everything. But he's too small too. So we settled for the Trail Blazer. It's a favorite ride from my childhood. And we road it all night long. His dad really won't ride anything (he never liked to even when we were kids) so it was up to me. So we road it after dark, until the park closed. Like I did a million years ago when I was small and before everything got insane. Back before when I was innocent, before my parents split, and before I got my heart broken, back before I lost my best friend. It was like I was transported back in time when things were simpler. And safe. I hope Jr remembers this forever, I know I will. This song came on in the truck on the ride home and I just started weeping heavily. I don't cry much. But this song always hits me. Every Single Time. I'm not even really into country. I'm a 90s rock grunge head that look's like I should be in Pearl Jam. But this song is one of my favorites.
This song reminds me of my grandma. I miss her so much. We'd wake her up sometimes and she'd talk about dreaming about home...
Me and my late Fiencee Gina were in a horrific car accident and I lost both her and our unborn baby on 12/8/06 and I had to have 3 brain surgery's as well as titanium rods put in both of my femurs and multiple skin graphs but I made it by the Grace of God but every time I hear this song that's the first thing that comes to mind for me.
❤️❤️❤️
Oh im listening lol still a great song but there is some mistakes but no one can be perfect we are only human once again great song and you have done great keep it up
Love you Dad, you're finally home😇 1958-2018
Oh crap here comes the waterworks again 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Everytime I listen to this j cry my grandfather and I would sing this Everytime it came in the radio before he passed and this is one of the songs that hit me the most
