The Beatles - Almost Home Lyrics

He had plastic bags wrapped round his shoes
He was covered with the evening news
He had a pair of ol' wool socks on his hands
The bank sign was flashing 5 below

It was freezing rain and spitting 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 ol' man are you ok? He said

I just climed out of a cotton wood tree
I was running from some honey bees
Drip drying in the summer breeze
After jumping in the calacoe creek

I was walking down an old dirt road
Passed a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home

And he said I had just coming round the barn
Bout time you grabbed my arm
When I heard momma holla
Son hurry up

I was close enough from my own nose
To smell fresh cogger on the stove
And I saw daddy loadin' up the truck
Game polls on the tail gate
Bobbers blowing in the wind
Since July of '55
That's as close as I've been

I just climed out of a cotton wood tree
I was running from some honey bees
Drip drying in the summer breeze
After jumping in the calacoe creek

I was walking down an old dirt road
Passed 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: Ol' man you're gonna freeze to death
Let me drive you to the mission
He said
