- Craig Morgan performing Almost Home, from the album I Love It.
More from Craig Morgan: • Craig Morgan - That's ...
Almost Home is a significant country ballad, both penned and performed by American country music artist, Craig Morgan. This composition garnered acclaim for its emotive narrative, evocative melody, and thought-provoking themes. Released originally as a single in November 2002 under Morgan's album "I Love It", the song became a top 10 hit on U.S. country charts.
The song was co-authored by Craig Morgan himself and Kerry Kurt Phillips. It narrates an encounter with an elderly homeless man seeking shelter behind a trash can. The storyline leads the listener to believe that the homeless man may have succumbed to the harsh outdoor elements, prompting the narrator of the song to wake him. Upon awakening, the man utters the phrase "almost home" and begins to recall the dream he was having.

Amen have watched my son on revolving door in jail and probation thank god he found Christ in his heart and good program locally to help him thru this AMEN AMEN
My dad was a trucker for over 50 years and he loved good country music like this. I just buried him a week ago today 6/01/2019 and I almost picked up the phone to call him today. Pops you are home now, mom has been waiting for you for awhile. Why don't you two sit for a spell and have a talk, she forgave you along time ago...we all did. Nobody's mad pop's you left us when our love for you made us forget about the past, and I think you knew it was all good. And that's why you knew it was time to go. 10-4 pops love you...your son.
Well said, forgiveness is what sets us all free to fly. Peace
Got me crying over here dude
All the best mate 👍. G'day from Perth Western Australia
I was addicted to all types of drugs. Since the age of 15 . I'm 41 and been sober for 3 months . I couldn't have done it with out My lord and savior Jesus Christ 🙏🙏 . And it's the best discussion iv made. Is to follow him and obay his word. So now I'm addicted to playing music on guitar. Thank you Lord For loving me when I don't deserve it. FEAR OV GOD. Love it.
Just discovered this gold. God bless you all and keep you in Jesus name amen 🙏 🙌 ❤
I am a recovering alcoholic. Every day is a gift and a fight. This song comforts me. I hope you all get strength as well.
I hope you're doing well, Mr Jackson. ❤️
I'm fighting it bad. I have serious brain swelling, blood pressure goes off charts and I start having seizures when I try to quit. I'm very proud of you. Please pray for me.
I drink a 5th of whiskey everyday and function at work snd st home but I know it will kill me someday.
Everytime I hear this song it takes me back to my hometown Winnipegosis Mb. and when I was young and happy
I hope you're doing well and still fighting
It’s only once you grow older that you realize how precious those days were.
That's really true, thanks Karen

Same
Yeah its remembering somethings
Craig Morgan played at my son's Army Base Fort Sill Oklahoma. My son was in Basic training at the time. My son was so excited about this. Craig Morgan is a class act. What a beautiful song. It takes me back to my childhood. I can't even imagine what those young Army soldiers felt like when they heard it.
Proud to b Americans
So your son was artillery,spent the summer of 79 there,myself,you’ve something to be proud of,thank god for my son,and all sons and daughters,those children are a blessing from him
Im 71 years old and why is this song so special to me? I remember climbing that tree I remember jumping into that lake I remember fishing with my best friend I remember walking down that old dirt road??
Wow, you enjoyed the vibes.
How are you?
That's beautiful I too feel that way hearing this song. God bless!
@@kellywatts248 Im very lucky, life is the luck of the draw some get lucky some dont.
@@billgonzales8978 Yes. You right.
God bless us all.
Wow beautiful l can relate
I was raised by my grandma, she was like a mother and a father to me. I lost her about a year ago to cancer. I’m serving in the Marine Corps now and I know I wouldn’t have gotten where I’m at without her. She was a saint. This song helps me find comfort when I need it. God bless you all.

So sorry for your loss 🙏 thank you for your service God Bless you.
So sorry for your lost 😥
Keep your head up u got this ! God bless u and thank u for your service
Semper fi brother. Shes sitting with my granda ma telling stories...
one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
My grandpa loved this song . I’ve been trying to find it for years and I finally did . This song literally makes me cry . It’s beautiful. Life isn’t fair at all . World is so evil
I played this song at my 19 yr old son's funeral....my boy loved dirt roads, fishing, swimming in creeks, and enjoying life wide open... It's been 13 years but the pain still feels fresh.... I love this song- helps remind me that Ash is "home" waiting for me.
Sorry you lost your son. This is such a beautiful song.
so sorry to hear that
I have 2 sons. 11 and 1. I can't imagine anything ever happening to them. God gave you the hardest task any human can possibly face. Stay strong and think of the 19 years he was able to experience and cherish them. This song definitely deepens the faith of anyone who hears it. Thank you for letting everyone know how precious the human life is. I'm sure he is casting in the sun as we speak.
yes this is agreat memory song so sorry for your loss and god bless
And now the singer of this song just lost his son at 19, too. Prayers for both of you.
kids today may never get the chance to walk down an ole dirt road and feel that summer breeze.so glad I was born when dirt roads were a thing of beauty where friends were made to last a lifetime.i am sure there are plenty of folks who would agree
Got that right
You sre so right
Agree!!
Glad I live on a dirt road down in south ga , 15
Grew up on a farm, corn and cotton, early 60s, down a dirt road, near a small creek (never knew it's name) in south GA., and loved it. Many fond memories and this song brings em all back. Had to actually play outside for entertainment, OMG, lol, so many trees to climb...
For all y'all out there where I grew up was like this song says , fresh cut hay playing in the yard watching my grandma canning and eating the best food ever that we grew , i dreamed of it last night and have had a broken heart all day from remembering it all and the time that's gone by I am staring 60 down hard and have had a good life God's been good to me and I thank him alot .
Y'all pray every night to just be able in the end to go home cause I do .
My hope is for everyone who is homeless to find hope and peace much love to all ✌️
Amen
Very real and we'll said in a awesome and loving way.
I worked a tobacco farm with my mama and grandma in Anyor SC when I was about 7 years old... Saw hard times ..hard living ... sacrifice....hard loving... loyalty, loyalty through thick and thin ...ahh, meeting at the side of the highway, grownups laying out blankets to sit on ...mamas and grandmas unloading picknic baskets ..fried chicken, catfish,hush puppies potato salad. The men folk , sneaking Jack Daniels.... Sunday morning walking the sidewalk to Church... faithful...
There is nothing like the smell of corn
This song reminds you of the old times and the old folks ,these were hard times but many I would rather not forget.
It's almost unbelievable how much you can miss "HOME"....How much a song can drag some deep memories out to a point you can feel and smell it...If I ever have the ability to get home, I know the exact tree, the exact piece of ground that I'll be at....Never knew you could miss a little bit of dirt this much....
To everyone out there struggling never ever give up because God has not given up on you. God gives us new chances and blessings every day
God NEVER gives up on us. It is we that lose our faithfulness of in him.
Damn right been there before ❤😢
I sang this song to my grandmother a day or two before she died of cancer. It was a very bittersweet moment. I still get choked up thinking about it or even hearing this song. Today makes 3 years she’s been gone. Rip Maw. I miss you and love you so damn much.

This has to be one of the most underrated country songs of all time. I think there is so many of us that can relate, here in this crazy world of 2020 this world is not what it once was. I just hope and pray we can all get back to more peaceful times again. God bless you all!!
I know this comment was a year ago but yess I agree! I wish things would go back to how it used to. Families just aren’t family anymore 😞🤧😩
God Bless you 🙏 Amen
Absolutely a great song
I can't help but relate to the comments and tear up every time I hear a lot of the songs....We're gonna be okay😂❤❤
Bless this song, I was once homeless after a divorce. Slowly, and surely I recovered, by the Grace of God I am here and alive. Gained a college education, good career, and a place to live. Best of all I have my kids in my life. Thanks Craig Morgan. BTW he was a Paratrooper on Ft Bragg, as well as myself. Airborne All the Way
Congrats, and thanks for your service. Life is not easy or fair and no one ever said that it was. Only the strong survive
Airborne from a ranger
Thanks for your service and I'm glad you are so happy 😊
God blessed you my friend
I see you found your living well 🙏 too
I still can not complete singing this sing without the tears flowing.... brings back some many images of life
That's what music can do. Take you back to moments in time.
Yes... it just gives me an image of where my grandfather is.. and when he died I heard this song. Bless you
I no what your saying, I'm a recovering alcoholic, if the lord will let make it through another day. I thank him for that. This song make me cry at time too.
Likewise. Some good and bad but beautiful song
Facks
Me currently being homeless in Wyoming ,this song really hits me hard ... Thank God for the Wyoming rescue mission.
I don't want to say the same old thing..I mean, I DO want God to bless you and I WILL pray that things improve but.. I guess mainly I just wanted to comment back to you.. that someone saw your comment.. that someone does care. I wish I was more help. Damn I hope you're ok tonight. I really do.
God be with you!! ♥️
Praying God provides for you and your circumstances improve very soon. 🙏🙏🙏
Hope you’re doing better man. God bless you.
Cancer almost took me,but God told me it's not time. Now I have a beautiful grandson .you don't give up they'll need us.
So happy for you.
Who could possibly give this song a thumbs down?? This song is everything.

My daddy spent 14yrs n prison.i would cry and cry when I heard this
Oh I'm sorry bud
I agree
ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE REMINDS ME OF HOME GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE WHO CAN RELATE ❤️
Has to be the most beautifully discriptive song ive ever heard. This song is brilliant! My all time favorite.
I’ve listen to music about all my life I’ve never heard such a well written song so much meaning love it God bless you all
My son got 22 years for aggravated robbery was hooked on heroin he said dad I was almost home he has done 13 years but God is good ❤️😎
My wife just died of breast cancer, but this song sounds so much like her and what being doing that it comforts me
It's crazy I'm 41 my dad is 70 and loves all music but until the other day had never heard this song it blew my mind to know that.
You know I sing this song to my daughter when she was a little girl about two years ago she had her throat cut but I think God I still have her here thank you Craig Morgan love 💕 from Tennessee
This was my grandpa's favorite song he use to sing it to use grandbabies . This song hit home I got really strung out and never could find my way back but I finally did. April 13,2021 is my second clean date!!
No other song has ever pulled emotional tears out of my eyes like this one !!! Jesus this is powerful !!! Reminds me of my childhood and my daddy
Doesn't hit home until you lose a family member or friend, God is all that will bring us thru.
U cant give this a thumb down this song is so uplifting and spiritual. Love this song
Hi there
Mr. Sutton. We know the youth are lost. We were so fortunate with our upbringing that they will never feel what we do. Kinda sad. Isn't it brother.
This song touched me deeply. I managed a house for homeless men, addicts, and alcoholics... after I myself was a homeless alcoholic. My mind would always take me to good memories... although childhood was not one of them. Thank you for this. (6 years sober now) God be with you all.
@ Bill Strickland , you are a good man my friend, from one Christian brother to another, God Bless you & yours( i'm a 57 yr., old irishman from rural Kentucky, born again follower of Jesus Christ)
Hello @BillStrickland I'll like to have a private conversation with you, hope you dont mind??
And may God always be with you as well.
Hope you are now at your sober my friend. If not, try again. So worth it
Congratulations 🎊 👏 5 years for me
I was homeless living in a porch of a vacant house with my mother and we spent so many hungry and lonely nights. and I know the both of us wish we was home. But we both are doing much better now even though we are 500 miles apart neither of us are homeless. And we're living better than b4 thank you Jesus for all your blessings this wouldn't be possible without you.
So happy for your recent good fortune. Good luck.
Amen have watched my son on revolving door in jail and probation thank god he found Christ in his heart and good program locally to help him thru this AMEN AMEN he’s home now praise god
I'm a 52 yr old cowboy,it brings me to tears everytime I hear it.
God bless you. Lost my quarter horse in March she would have 32 in may
My wife and I rescue horses of all types from bad situations. She is a real life cowgirl works 200 head daily on horseback. Rides 7 days a week. Never seen any woman ride like she can. Mounted archery! Wow
My point is I'm relatively new to this lifestyle but I have met the BEST people in my life from the Equine world. Great folks!
It's like turning back the clock to the old days and old ways. Respect for our flag, our nation and God!
God bless all you old cowboy and cowgirls.
I know y'all get beat up but man what a life.
When you're tired of being the stoic, the one that can handle anything, the one that keeps muddling through, the one that keeps hearing the words "this too shall pass," but it happens so often that you've learned that it never really does, it only builds up like a something behind a dam about to burst. Do yourself a favor and listen to this song and let the water flow. Quite healing for the soul.
Thank you for saying this
Story of my life. Will I ever get better
😢😭
You are a blessing to the weary and misunderstanding,
Quiet rest
👍
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Craig Morgan a handful of times. He’s one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met.
Such a beautiful song with such vivid memories of times and places!! Great story behind it!! Love the song!!
This was one of my mom’s favorite song , sadly she passed away in December I miss you mom
So sorry for your loss
Keep it up I wish I could say the same thing .God bless you
I’m sorry 😢
Its my moms as well. She always told my siblings and I ( Since we were kids) that this was one of the few songs, she wanted us to play at her funeral. Well memorial.. She wants the same as my dad. Instead he wanted a big gathering, he said he wanted no crying. I miss him tons!!
My condolences 🙏
My dad passed away on April 23rd 2014. I never heard this song until after he died, now every time I hear it, it makes me want to cry because I've so many great memories with him. HOME, for me, is mama making biscuits in the kitchen while me and dad were working outside in the hot sun, my dad helped me catch my first fish when I was just 3 years old, he taught me how to drive, how to work and be a man. A lot of you might not care about all this that I'm saying, but at the time, I never really thought about how much those moments would mean to me, I'll never get those precious moments back, but I still hold tight to the memories me and him had together, but I'll be with him again some day, until then, I know I'll never be HOME again
I'm so sorry Josh. It's so hard, I know. Have you ever heard the song "If you get there before I do". Wow, complete power song. What about "Two teardrops"? Fantastic stuff. God bless you and I'll keep you in my prayers.
My mom just passed away from cancer yesterday morning first real loss ive had it sucks man
Hey Josh you just keep on. and know that he hears you
Josh Jones God bless you man the Lord has a plan he might just have needed someone to talk to👍👍
your a lucky guy ,I have no memories ,had no dad in my life ,at thirteen I could roll a joint inside my jean jacket on a breezy night . but it didn't get me down today Iam a father of four ,nowadays three ,and have five grand children luck for me I had all daughters .
It took me 2 days to remember bits and pieces of this song to look it up. My daddy's birthday was valentines day. He weighed heavily on my mind! This song reminds me of when he was alive, he would drive the back roads, showing me around his stomping grounds in his 1988 5.0 mustang, Windows down, my long hair blowing and this coming on the radio and we both would sing the chorus! I cried my eyes out for I miss that man so!!! It's been 8 years and 2 months without him. It is suppose to get easier....Jen
That's great
It will just close your eyes and bring back the memories when you were riding around with your dad
That's what I hate too. Trying to remember song you liked alot butt maybe wasn't around long. Get enuff rt to get a hit . " How's it going to be" third eye blind was one for me
2023 and this is still a favorite to me. My dad would play it all the time ❤
GOD'S GIFTED 144OOO. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR BLESSINGS. ❤😇💯
my life's just about run its course, Cancer has a hold no one can stop. so, I'm almost home. God bless and keep you all.
God Bless you, Michael.....my mother has cancer, also. God be with us all. Home in Heaven is where you both will never be sick again. No more pain or tears, blessed child of God.
CANCER TOOK MY BROTHER 06-29-2017 .. FIVE YEAR BATTLE .. NOW HE'S HOME WITH JESUS AND MY MOM AND MY DAD .. I AM DIEING OF M.S. AND ALZHEIMERS .. SLOW AND PAINFUL .. I AM READY FOR "HOME"

I'm a recovering heroin addict. Been clean for almost 2 months now. Life is better now
Fight as hard as you possibly can. Hope you are doing good!!💪💪💪💪💪💪
I was very fortunate to grow up in a strong, close family in rural West Virginia. I left after college and lived in many cities and states. I finally got the chance to come back home, and I'll never call any place home again. I can't climb trees or jump in the creek anymore, my farm is smaller, but this song is about my growing up in the country. I love it.
this song really chokes me up!! its awesome
I was at work listening to one of the local radio stations and this song came on. It was the first time I heard this song. I had to sit down. It is such a deep song. I found myself daydreaming about my childhood. Thank God for UA-cam. Now I can listen any time I want.
Used to listen to this song all the time. One of the saddest country songs, no, songs period. I’ve ever heard. Gives me nostalgia for another man’s life.
Oh, This Song! That's just where I was, after 3 suicide attempts from my four yr old daughter being kidnapped out of her bed at night! I was " almost home" when doctors and nurses brought me back to talk. I didn't have any answers, but I knew, I was Almost Home! Sure was a much better place than what I was presently living in. It's been about 26 years since I asked God to carry me because couldn't take those first steps on my own. I became addicted to all types of prescription medications. You quickly learn, What pills get you up and going, which ones keep you going and which ones put you down to rest, but you very seldom seek rest. I had a job and had to raise my other children. God heard my cries and answered my prayers. I vowed to God, If he would help me, I wouldn't over dose on pills again. Here I am, over 35 years later, I'm still searching for my daughter, and God is still watching over me. This song is a comfort in knowing, although I was "Almost Home", God has other plans for me. And I haven't finished searching for my daughter, Jessica. I hope when it is my time to go, God let's me see and feel like, I'm Almost Home! 🙏 ❤
That's Soo horrible, did you ever put your story on true crime shows?? Like UA-cam and stuff....I pray one day you will see your daughter again !!🙏
When times are bad in 2019, i think about this song. The 1970's were like this for me. Fishing, swimming , mom's mulberry pie and baseball. Loved my childhood.
Right there with you.
Same here. Hauling hay, cutting tobacco, eating watermelon, my grandma’s sweet tea, barefoot in the creek, playing baseball.
One of the best country songs ever written. The imagery it presents can choke anyone, even the most selfish among us, up with tears.
Oh man when this song came out I was working with a crew of carpenters and every time this song would play on the radio the whole crew would sing along, good times 🤠
This song has always reminded me of the farm I grew up on. And that will be my Heaven one day. My Daddy coming in from feeding the cattle and me and my brother racing to the house for dinner. The smell of Mom cooking green beans and potatoes and honeysuckle and wild roses. And the love of my life, my high school sweetheart riding up on his motorcycle. That's Heaven. The only difference will be my oldest son, Dylon, will be there waiting for me to hug forever.
when I was little,me n my dad,lived this life of fishing,I did walk down old dirt road smell fresh cut hay,,now I'm broke down,missn those days,with my dad,,,I love u daddy,,your boy,almost 60 now,,tears are make it hard to see tonite,,daddy
James Eastridge I do it with my 8yro son when I’m home I drive truck and when I’m home u can’t separate us
Makes you wonder what kind of memories the gaming/tech generation will have to look back on.
I miss them to . You know people will never die , unless they are
forgotten. 🤗
Ceep on fishing! Love you .
Just missing it too 🤗.
I know pawpaw I love u I love pawpaw too N all the rest of the family
This song makes me cry more reliably than any other country song with the exception of John Michael Montgomery's "Letters from Home".
Thank you Craig Morgan. One of my most favorite songs.
So good...saw him in Maine a few years ago at a Wreaths Across America event in Maine...great American!!!!
I'm 45 with a polycystic kidney disease. Lord everything sure looks different when your time is limited. I sure have learned to enjoy little things that normally ho unnoticed.

My great grade pa wrote this
Your so right. Used to listen to this with my uncle when he’d take me fishing, miss those days . Cancer sucks
Definitely makes you think things can always get worse I hope that everything go well for everybody listen to song but I do love this song just for this fact
My grandson and I sing this together
.What a Joyous feeling there is. 🤔 You figure out where all the commas go.😮😅😊😂❤🎉😢😅😊❤😂😊😊😮
This song I feel all the way so deep my investor's are swimming in that creek and singing hymns. Jesus call me home, I am tired of this battle. Either heal me of Cancer or take me home.
Thanks Debbie, That's great
he has a voice that brings you back to the days that you never want to let go of. my mom passed away on my 30th birthday. and every time. my b.day come in February. I think about how much I miss her.
I took care of my mother in law for the last 6 months if her life. She played this song constantly. The day she passed I played it for her. I'm sure she heard it. Every few months I listen to it and cry, not just because I miss her so much but I know she is home and happy.
That's very lovely of you, thanks Debra
The widow maker hit me one fine day died on the table went to heaven...had to come back ..the big man's orders..total elation best feeling of my 38 years ...getting to heaven then I had to cone back to this earth of sin and sadness.shit man I was home! God has plans for all of us gotta jeep the faith 🙏
Thank you Lord for this country. We have problems but you can change it in a blink of a eye. We have every beautiful landscape a man could want with generations of sacrifices that should be remembered. The biggest one being Jesus.
All these years later, this song still has me in my feelings.
I love this song, I'm 60s, I don't wanna go yet, Still livin and lovin it, But I'm ready. Cant wait to see my Pap and Gramma Eva, and all them friends that are waiting
I'm the same way it's not a bad thing I'm up for it that doesn't make you weak though this world has gone all to hell thank God my husband is in the air
Repent and turn to Christ sir. There is no other way, it's not too late. God's mercy renews every day! Seek his word and righteousness and all will be added unto you! Seek and ye shall find!
Cried this entire song. God bless you all.
This song has always reminded me of younger brother! He past away 2 yrs ago! He loved to go fishing,,but he could never put the bottle down!
This song reminds me of how short out time on earth is...in a blink of an eye we all will be standing in front of our creator. Never take a second for granted. Time is fleeting..so cherish the good times
This is the song that was "my song" when I was only 4 or 5 years old. I fell in love with the chorus, tho I didn't understand what it was talking about at the time, and every time we got in the car I begged my mom to search the radio for it. Years have passed and my mom and I have grown distant, but this song still holds a very special place in my heart.
The memories recalled on this song echo ones my grandfather shared with me so very long ago about his early childhood. He was everything to me. God knows how I need him now. Beautiful song. Make me snotty nosed everytime I hear it. Thanks for sharing those memories with me PaPa. I miss you and MeMe more than words could ever say. Maybe I can show you if I'm blessed enough to see you again.
Some songs just hurt and this is one of them. Beautiful pain is is the only way I can describe it.
This always reminds me of the good ole days. Makes me cry every time I hear it.
This song takes me back,almost home with my brothers sisters momma and daddy! Family friends and a special time in our lives.
We were poor... but we were so damn rich...
Thanks for the memories, I love you all.
I first heard this song at work, I worked security for coal mines here in W.V., I was writing weight tickets for 18 wheelers, and the tears just flowed. This song makes me shed tears, no matter how hard I try to man up.
That's great
Amen brother
15 months sober if I can do anyone can Jesus is the way took me 50yrs to get it 🙏
This is by far one of my favorite songs. This is real country. How could any country fan dislike this song?
They're not country fans or this song made them cry and they don't like it because of that.
+Joseph Kutches you're probably right. It is a pretty sad song but it is still great.
+Joseph Kutches shit i love it because it brought a tear to my eye, hell still listening to it even now
It probably hits a little too close to home for some folks.
I'm a metalhead through and through but this song opened me up to country. I challenge ANYONE to listen to this, (or Brad Paisley's Whiskey Lullaby), and not be stirred. These type songs connect to something in our souls that I just can't quite explain and definitely can't get enough of.
Alyssa lies/ Don't take the girl/ can't forget about them either.
The Walk is a good one too.
Fishing, walking an old dirt road barefoot, swimming in the creek just because we can and it's hot, the smell of fresh bread, and sweet cobbler. Wow! Makes my heart soar, cry, crack, and wish.
I lost my Dad in 78 my Mom in 04 and my only Brother in 09...talk about being alone...I miss my family bad but I know I'll see them again soon...Praise God I can't wait
You can't give this song a thumbs down. I almost made it home one time in 2013. That was a out of this world ambulance experience.
As I watched my father in his last days, and missed the final day, ever time I heard this song, I could picture all the stories he told me about him, his brothers and his father fishing in Galveston or in some bar ditches around Houston. He was a 2 tour Vietnam veteran, and one helluva pops!!!!! It's almost 3 yrs and I wish I still had him. Every time I hear this song, I do!!!!!!!!
This is a really good song it makes you feel like your back in your child hood days,👍
I called my and sang this song to him (with the radio of course)and he cherished that till the he died. That discribed his childhood perfectly, and he was a great Dad to me
RIP James W.Hamblin I'll be there in a little while.I Love 💕 you, Dad.
Folks, 56 yr., old irishman from rural S/E Kentucky, i posted how great the lyrics were so good in this song, & i don't know why, but i kept pondering over the lyrics, may have been the Holy Spirit just touching my heart as i started looking from a different perspective when the ol ' man said he was almost home. I just wonder if he was almost home in his dreams or almost home in heaven due to sleeping in those weather conditions, & just did't want to be woke up & just be left alone. Just because someone is homeless does not mean they have not been saved by Jesus Christ. Anyway, just a thought i wanted to share, God Bless you all
He was covered with the evening news ky man your problem right.
Excuse me I mean probably.

This song brings back crystal clear memories of my childhood along with all the wonderful people I associate with that carefree time. Most of them have passed away now but they live on in my memories. This song never gets old to me.
Here I am 58 years old I still remember the days with my mom and dad. I cherish those memories can't wait till I get to give mom a big bear hug sign. Sleepless in. Sevierville. T. N.
I wish I could go back home to see my dad. He's been gone along time now. One day soon dad and be a dream. MISS YOU DAD
Wish people would really listen to the words of this song and understand what it's all about. In some way or other we are all in the state that homeless man is in, but PRAISE GOD, we have something to look forward to if we accept the gift God is handing out to each of us!!
Honor Masse yeah some people don't even listen to the words and see how inportant the words are
reminds me of walking down the dirt roads back in the sticks between Philadelphia and Dekalb Ms1960s. spending summer with my Grandparents. If time could only stand still.
This reminds me so much of my daddy. He died on skid row alley in Seattle Washington in December 1978. He died homeless. A WW2 Vet. I was stationed in Korea at the time and couldn’t make it back for the funeral. He had been missing for many years when they found him dead. So sad 😞.
❤my prayers I was homeless but I’ll never get my family back 😢
This is one of those songs that will inevitably never be forgotten has such a great message on so many levels. I love this song and it makes me question what happen to the music industry.
That's true, Everything is all different now
It's very different now, but we do have some gems in our current generation, you should listen to Morgan wallen, listen to "Silverado for sale" such a great song like this one
