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
