He had plastic bags wrapped round his shoes.
He was covered with the evening news.
Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands.
The bank sign was flashing `5 below,
It was freezing rain an` 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 runin` 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.`
Then he said, `I`s just comin` `round the barn
Bout the time you grabbed my arm,
When I heard Momma holler `son hurry up.`
I was close enough for my own 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.
I was runin` 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,
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 left me alone
Right now I`d be fishin``
`I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree.
I was runin` 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.`
