[Verse 1]
CHe had plastic bags wrapped round his shoes
CHe was covered with the evening news
GHad a pair of wool Dsocks on his Ghands
CThe banks sign was flashing five below
CIt was freezin' rain and spittin' snow
GHe was curled up Dbehind some garGbage cans
[Pre-chorus]
BI was afraid that he was dead, I gCave him a gentle shake
BWhen he opened up his eyes I said, oCld man are you oDk, he said
[Chorus]
I just climbed out of the cotton Cwood tree
I was running from some honey bGees
Drip-drying in the summer Cbreeze
After jumpin' into Calecoe DCreek
I was walkin' down an old Cdirt road
Past a field of hay that had Gjust been moweG/F#d
EmMan I wish you'd just Cleft me alone
DCause I was almost Ghome
[Verse 2]
CThen he said, I was just comin' round the barn,
C'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
GI heard momma holDler, son hurry Gup
CI was close enough for my own nose
CTo smell fresh cobbler on the stove
GI saw daddy Dloadin' up the truGck
[Pre-chorus]
