Capo 1st fret
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
(bridge)
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 bGee's
Drip-drying in the summer Cbreeze
After jumpin into Calecoe DCreek
I was walkin down an old Cdirt road
Past a field of hey that had Gjust been moweG/F#d
EmMan I wish you'd just Cleft me alone
DCause I was almost Ghome
Then he said, I was just comin round the barn,
Bout the time you grabbed my arm
I heard momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my own nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
I saw daddy loadin up the truck
(bridge)
cane poles on the tailgate, bobbler's blowin in the wind
since July of  55, that's as close as I've been, Yea
(go to chorus)
DI said old man you're gonna freeze to death,
Let me Emdrive you to the mission
He said Cboy if you'd left me alone
                D   Dsus4/ D  
Right now I'd be fishin
(chorus) 2x's
man I wish you'd just left me alone
I was almost home
