Almost Home

(Almost Home - Craig Morgan)

...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
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
'Cause I was almost home..."

One of my favorite songs. Subject's kinda sad though. But that's how it is in downtown SF. It would be a weird day if you go there and don't see at least 10 homeless people curled up somewhere.
