HE HAD PLASTIC BAGS
WRAPPED 'ROUND
HIS SHOES
HE WAS
COVERED WITH
THE EVENIN' NEWS HAD A
PAIR OF
OLD WOOL SOCKS
ON HIS HANDS
THE BANK SIGN
WAS FLASHIN'
FIVE BELOW IT WAS
FREEZIN' 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
HE SAID
I JUST CLIMBED OUT OF
A COTTONWOOD TREE
I WAS RUNNIN' FROM
SOME HONEYBEES
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
MAMA HOLLER
SON HURRY UP
I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH
FOR MY OL' 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
YEAH I JUST
CLIMBED OUT OF
A COTTONWOOD TREE
WHERE I WAS
RUNNIN' FROM
SOME HONEYBEES
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
I WAS ALMOST HOME
I SAID OLD MAN
YOU'RE GONNA
FREEZE TO DEATH
LET ME DRIVE YOU
TO THE MISSION
HE SAID
BOY IF YOU'D-A
LEFT ME ALONE
RIGHT NOW
I'D BE FISHIN'
I JUST CLIMBED OUT OF
A COTTONWOOD TREE
I WAS RUNNIN' FROM
SOME HONEYBEES
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
MAN I WISH YOU'D
JUST LEFT ME ALONE
I WAS ALMOST HOME
