LYRICS:
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 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?"
CHORUS
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
THEN HE SAID, "I WAS 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 OLD 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
REPEAT CHORUS
I SAID, "OLD MAN YOU'RE GONNA FREEZE TO DEATH"
LET ME DRIVE YOU TO THE MISSION
HE SAID, "BOY IF YOU LEFT ME ALONE RIGHT NOW I'D BE FISHIN”
REPEAT CHORUS
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

I'm a black man born and raised a country boy.small town Missouri.West Harmondale missouri.on the Arkansas boarder.nothing but old dirt roads one stop light and a old country general store.dad and granddad listen to country music,they hunted ,fished and raised hogs on a hog farm ,drove tractors and plowed farm land of cotton,beans ,and wheat.Good memories they gave me.paw gone now but I know he's looking down on me . simply how I turned out as a man.❤I loved country.
Music doesn't care about race, creed or color, and neither do I!! Last time I checked we were all human beings, do blind people judge you by color?? I happen to be white, but could have been black, Asian or other!! I don't judge, I love all people!! Unless they do me wrong!!
God bless you brother
Honestly it doesn’t matter how tan you are!! American is American!!! Js
The trip the old man talks about is the exact trip from my grandpa's place where I lived until i was 5 years old then moved down the road with my folks to where I'm sitting tonight writing this. The field, the creek, the honey bees, the old truck with the fishing poles in the tail gate and the cobbler. I can't hear this song without tearing up over it because he's singing about the road I walked and road my bicycle on when I was little. At least to me it feels like it. 🤛 The only other song that chokes me up this bad is one by Randy Travis " I thought he walked on Water ' ua-cam.com/video/eCVw8Qjeg84/v-deo.html
Sir, I'm a southern country girl that loves Jesus. We may not be skin kin but you're my brother and proud of the man you are ✨️
My great grandfather died a few weeks ago. His last words were, “look Joey Ive caught a big one” Joey was his son that had died about 20 years ago. I guess he couldn’t wait any longer
Ooh man that just tore me up!!
God rest your Great Grandfathers soul my friend! My Grandmother passed February 7th 1998 and one week before she departed, she saw her husband at the foot of her bed (Papa passed 1977) and was wide awake when she “saw” him! I guess what I’m saying is that once this life is over....the next one begins! God Bless!
Many years ago on his death bed, my grandfather spent the last 4 hours of his life speaking in German with his brother. His brother had been dead nearly 30 years and my grandfather hadn"t spoken fluid, conversational German since he was a boy, speaking nothing but German at home.
My grandfather's nurse was kind enough to tell us all about his last few hours, and said she thought it was interesting that when he spoke there would be the usual pauses as if listening to what was being said to him, etc
All of this simply went to support what I've felt all my life...that what we're doing here is far from the End Of It.
feel ya brother
My dad died young . When he was on the morphine, he had wonderful vivid dreams of things like fishing with my daughter! It was awesome.
To, anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now.
May clarity replaces confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. God bless you
♥️ ♥️
🥰🥰🥰
Amen 🙌
thank you your words are like a light
Oh my God I'm reading this thankyou so much .that sounds like me to a T god bless you

My mom passed 7 19 22 , her last cognitive words were " look at all the beautiful apples!" Her daddy planted apple trees on their property when she was a child. ❤
My Daddy , Sgt. Charles A. Silcox ,United States Army, passed on December 26th 2021.
In his last couple months he would be talking to his family that had already passed. We would wake him for his meds and its would startle him, PTSD.
He would say " Man, why did you wake me up...?"
Daddy told us stories of Vietnam and the Dairy Farm he grew up on.
I played and sang this song at his service, right before the 21 guns, and the 2 soldiers folded Old Glory and presented to my Mother.
God Bless Our Soldiers!
Thank You Sir for a wonderful song!
Love You Daddy!!! Thank You for Everything!!! See You Later!!
My daddy passed Dec 1, 2021. I got the flag that was on casket, one of my most cherished items. He was in the Air Force, I miss hearing his stories.
I think this song takes everyone back to that "one moment" in their childhood. For me, I'm about 11 or 12. My mom was teaching me to skip rocks in a small creek in between softball games. I fell in and had to pitch soaking wet. It was one of the best games I ever had. My coach told me i should be thrown in before all games. My mom has since passed and I would give just about anything to spend that day skipping rocks with her again.
Beautiful memory hun. I know the feeling believe me I’d give anything everything just for one day
Agreed! My memory i dont remember how old I was but we went to Durango and walked around all the shops and I got a few small toys (we didn't have much money but always had what I needed plus a little extra, budget allowing) we ate dinner then on the drive back it was night and the way the town and mountains looked that night. I'd give anything to go back to that time. My father passed 3 years ago.
We will brother, we will. 🙏
Omg this made me cry!! Playing in the creek before softball games were the best days of my childhood 💙 Love this story!!!
Sing on Craig!!! I like it, I love, I want some more More MORE OF IT 🏖♥️♥️
My brother is in a hospital and his organs are shutting down. He has been fighting an illness and has been in hospital the most part since April 2. He's a Veteran!
I am so proud to be his sister. He's going to be with family in Heaven. We haven't been allowed to visit because of this virus, he never had it but we still couldn't visit until yesterday when they told us to come say goodbye. This song is perfect.
I'm deeply sorry for your loss and especially at this time in the middle of this virus! but your brother was a hero God bless your family in your time of mourning and as I look at an American flag outside of my house I salute it in honor of your brother . May God be with you and your family.
@@bairyparrett Thank You so much! ❤🇺🇸
He passed away today!
Godspeed Little Brother!
@@vivianramage7361 I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother may God be with you and your family
I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Thanks to him for serving. Your comment put tear's in my eyes. I believe in Jesus and hope he does too. I pray for peace and comfort you and your family.
I think any of us raised in the country can understand how very powerful this song is. Takes me right back to my childhood
I can still see the barn at the edge of the field.
One of my all time MOST favorite and YESSSSSS extremely POWERFUL ❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed. I grew up in the 60s south on "an old dirt road" in a sharecropper tenant house with a creek about a half mile away. Lots of working in the field during the summer but also a lot of lazy days fishing and seeking relief from the heat by jumping in the swimming hole. This song reminds me so much of those simpler times. Brings a tear to my eye every time.
Amen.
Me too all of it, I’ve been there
I don't know how 155 people can dislike this song..... It's been a favorite of mine since he released it.
They must have covid-19 , because they have no taste : )
Those 155 people are idiots
Great song!
Agree!!!
These dislikes are people who really can’t hear. Awesome song
I was homeless under a bridge in my hometown. Alcohol inaliated everything worthwhile in my life. Heard this song right after I went to get help. My sister committed suicide is a direct result of alcoholism and drug addiction so when I heard this song it ripped me to pieces. It's so well written it should be in the Hall of Fame
Àp
Hope you & your family are doing well! Especially you!
God bless you Chuck ,!
Honor your sister by enjoying and fixing the rest of your life !!!
hope you got help
Just said a lil prayer for you Chuck, wherever u may be , so that you may realize we all can always count on God’s unconditional love even in our darkest hours , just as well as we can in our brightest days! ✌️✊❤️
My son was homeless, missing for 19 years. I read his obituary online. This song brought it all home again. He took his life at 54 years of age, alone and hopeless. I wish he would have called.
My heart goes out to you.
So sorry for your loss sweetie
I am so very sorry 😢
Sweet Jesus, I'm so sorry for your pain and loss, Mama...
We are never alone. God is always there
I just finished talking with my son. I have worried about him for years. He has finally found the right path for him. He told me he heard this song on the radio on his way to work and had to pull over due to the tears welling up in his eyes. Your song touched him deeply and me too. God bless you.
This song reminds me of how many homeless people we have in this nation and a lot of them are veterans
I lost touch with my son almost two +years ago and no one in the family has heard from him since.He was in a Homeless shelter in Kentucky where I talked to him. praying he is okay
@@tonyblankenship1608 hope he is ok
I heard it said that they were more empty homes in our nation than there is Homeless people. God bless the one's that Care about them and help them.
@@ethelhoose7624 a!9
I'm 70 yrs old and have had and lost so many friends that it saddens my heart to the edge. The one constant in my life has been good music and this is good music. Oh and the other constant has been Jesus and I thank him for all of it.
Amen
I Feel your hurt and I pray God sends you more people that r truly Friends
I feel your pain lost my mom Brenda at the ge of four teen and my grandmother at the age of 26 now I am 27 I hurts to lose 😢 loved ones that are like your best friend
Praise the Lord. King of Kings. Jesus Christ is all around us anytime we need him.
Amen..same here
to me, this song was so under appreciated. it should have won every award. I love it so much.
Agreed.
Because i know that it can also be played to the Christian / Country demographics at least
A truly wonderful song. It's one of my very favorites.
Beautiful
I agree
Lost my grandpa today. The man that taught me how to be a man since my dad died when I was 5. All he wanted to do til his last day was to go fishing one more time. They don’t make em like that generation anymore.
So Sorry for the Loss of your Grandaddy. 😢😢Prayers
He’s talking about saving a homeless person from Cold n Snow and the homeless person was on his way home. Amazing song I can barely get the words to come out. Epic song. Should have tons of Grammys.
Heaven is his home 😊
Craig Morgan is probably one of the most underrated singers of all time. Amazing talent!!!
I'm 56yrs old, George Jones has always been my favorite, I just listened to a whole album by Craig Morgan and I've gotta say I'm hooked!! Probably the best country singer of this Era, not a single song I didn't like!! Every song tells a story and every one just gets better!!
Oh he is not underrated especially after The Father, My Son, and The Holy Ghost he is very respected it’s the new generation that just want to listen to c*** music and party
Agree 100%
Ok agree 100%
Agreed 😊
This is one of the greatest songs of all time. It touches my heart to its core. Thank You, Craig Morgan. ❤️
Thank you sweetheart for the likes and comment, i thank you for your surport and for the appreciate you've offered over the years... I hope you keep listening and enjoying my music and it's a pleasure if you kindly send me a direct message on my DM (737) 637-7683
Thanks dear and nice to meet you 💝
Great song.
Y ah !
Makes this Grown man cry
Makes me think of my 89-year-old Pop Laying in an assisted living paralyzed on one side after several strokes, all the years of watching him work on john deere tractors, just an illinois farm boy wishing he could go home now😢 Lord please show mercy❤
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family 🙏
I was in prison and in the hole for 6 months and this song and prayer is the only way I found hope. All glory to God.❤
AMEN. GOD IS GREAT 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow ❤
"Canepoles on the tailgate, bobbers blowing in the wind, since July of 55 that's as close as I've been" OMG that gets me every time I hear it!!😭
Craig is one of the very few true country singers that we are still lucky to have. Keep on singing Craig your amazing
@MarcosBryant-mr7jw well I think that he must have loved Daryle singletary song, the one about saving country music. I love the old style country music, I don't like the country rap music, I call it CRAP music
I didn’t know I could still cry. This reminded me of when I was homeless.
Life has a way to harden the heart but a good song can soften it up
Hello. Thanks for being a great fan over the years.. you send a text through my hangout Gmail. I promise to give a response back. I guess it's a little way of showing my fans appreciation.. I'm now available to meet and greet.
Craigmorgan1477@gmail.com
amen.
Anyone can cry and if anyone tells u its not manly to cry well just tell em it takes a real man to cry
This makes me think of my father when he was homeless for about a year when he was only 16. And on how i could easily become homeless dying in the cold or have a heat stroke in the heat
Pray every day for my son who is lost in drugs
🙏 Jesus lead this Son towards you not from you , never let go of his hand, deliver him from fear & temptations of Satan dirty tricks 🙏 Amen ,TY Jesus ♥️
Same here. No parent should have to bury their child. Will see you soon Alex!! I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH BABY BOY. THIS DRUG EPIDEMIC IS HORRIBLE! SEE YOU SOON 😢
Praying for you an yr son. I'm truly sorry . 🙏🙏🙏. Breaks my heart to read this. IV got a son 34
Praying for you. Never give up hope.
I hope and pray he got off of them
Always makes me cry my eyes out listening to this beautiful song. Sometimes I'm almost home in my dreams and wake to the reality I live. I feel this song in my soul.
precious memories -all of us gonna be fishin one of these days see ya there !
🎣
Amen Chris Ferguson I'm sure they grow them big up thére. See you there
Yes sir
Amen , see yall there ...we'll be with our kinfolk and our ol puppy dogs...God Bless you Chris ...Best Regards.
I grew up very much in a place like the memories of the old man in this song in the early 1960s. It's all gone now. Malls, airpirt, apartments stores hoses. Totally sad but like this old man I've got my memories and dreams and hope when my time comes I'll dream myself back to a more simple time and place. Absolutely love this song.
Thanks dear and nice to meet you 💝
This song is so amazing .touches my heart to its core
Life was better back then. Awesome song
That's a great take on why the man is homeless actually. Makes the song even more touching to think of how we continue to treat rural communities in that way.
Don't we all man. Done all this stuff he's singing about.
This song makes me ugly cry every time I hear it 💔 but I love it. Reminds me of my dad.
Me too reminds me of my dad I miss him so much he left me in 2014
Lol.
Thanks Jennifer for your love and support it's mean a lot to me ❤️❤️🌹
@@craigmorgan8952 Are you the singer of this song??
Man after reading the comments (I was already tearing up btw) I started having tears stream down my cheeks, not realizing that so many people could come together and reminisce and impart wisdom like this. Thank you
Same here. Right now.
Same ❤ I don't normally comment on anything but omg. this song, I think it is just...I cry every time i hear it, it is so sad and at the same time so sweet. It reminds me of my own childhood growing up in a small SC town, and it also reminds me of my grandmother and listening to her stories of growing up on a little dirt farm in the middle of nowhere, dirt poor, during the great depression with her 8 brothers and sisters, and she was just full of nothing but good memories and funny stories and i loved hearing all of them. She said that they used to catch big ole "june bugs" and then tie a strjng around their leg and they bad a june bug kite for the day 😂 I miss her so much and treasure her stories like diamonds. She lost my Pop Pop when he was 67, they'd been together since the age of 13, and she wore his ring until the day she died at 94 yrs old. The last time i went to see her was 4 days before she died, sharp as a tack right to the very end. She was the last one of her 8 brothers and sisters left, bless her heart. She loved me more than anything in the world and frankly I am blessed to have had her as my grandma for 45 years of my life. She was a fighter, but even the best fighter's give out after so long and the last thing she said to me was "I'm so glad you came to see me today, but I was having the most wonderful dream when you walked in and woke me up, and I'm eager to get back to it! I daid what were you dreaming about grandma, tell me! She smiled and said "Me and Elmer (Pop) were kids again, & we were walking to the creek with our cane poles and a bucket of worms we'd dug up behind daddy's wood shed. And he reached out and took my hand and said I'm gonna marry you someday, u know. And i said, oh i can't wait for the day! And we walking hand in hand both sniling from ear to ear...and we were almost to the creek when I woke up. If you dont mind, i think I'll shut my eyes and get back to Elmer now, he's been waiting so long for me to join him, and i do miss him so... ❤ I said well don't keep him waiting then, and when u see him will u tell him that i love him? She said, oh he knows, and he loves you too, always has. I kissed her cheek and she went back to sleep smiling, and i just stood and watched her for what seemed forever, and then i whispered "Its okay to go now, I know how long you've waited to be with Pop Pop again. And one day I'll join y'all, won't it be fun! That's why i love this song so much its so sad and so so sweet too. ❤
Same😢
I grew up on a ranch. This song makes me tear up because that's exactly what happened every summer. Nailed it! Wish everyone could experience that
This is the best country song!
Every so often, a song gets written that will always stick around through the years....This is one of them. Hard hitting....touching
reminds me of my childhood and my grandmother and granddaddy. Tears came to my eyes. I’m a veteran and a boxer. I broke down. I’ve been up north for almost 20 years and I want to go home, but due to life I can’t. 5 more years! Please god let me get home. I left as a boy just 18. I’m almost home.
song gets me everytime. as someone near the end of that road with failing health and memories close to this song I can totally relate.
Me too. Wishing I could go another 60 years.
Yep, me too. 💜
Awe man you got me crying now lol every time I hear this song I hold back tears when he says “I saw daddy loading up the truck, cane poles in the tailgate, bobbers blowing in the wind, since July of 55 that’s as close as I’ve been.” I lost my dad December 14th, 2019. Life has been very bleak without him here.
@@skinnyslims5327 It’s hard to remember who you are and what you’re capable of right after they go ahead of us. When I looked at my daddy, I saw the man that I could be, something I never saw in a mirror. It’s difficult not to have him here as a mentor. But his lessons are like a tree. It was a seedling back then, but now it has grown deep roots, and I am beginning to see him in me. That’s how I know im doing something right. In time, the pain will become strength, and slowly, you will remember what you’ve been told, and you’ll feel closer and closer to him as you grow. My dad always wanted more for me, but I’d be happy with being the man he is.
@@mallarysangel I appreciate the kind words thank you very much that helps.
From 15 years old to 37, this song is every bit of impactful and powerful. Absolutely beautiful.
I'm 38. Your comment just brought my world down around me. Time flies. Dammit.
I've had a lot of money and I've been broke so poor I couldn't pay attention this is brings it back to reality
This song came out right around the time I lost my mom. It gave me so much comfort. I know where she is...she is healthy and happy now.
Still one of the greatest voices of country music ! Love ya Craig !
Jackie Jackson I am the Resurrection and the life, he who believes in me will live even though they die Jesus said.

Same for my dad 😥
@@wangotango2789 I am deeply sorry for your loss. You and I understand because we have walked through it. It is a difficult walk but knowing Jesus makes it bearable.
God Bless you and your Mama.
Feeling nostalgic today. I remember when this wonderful song first came out and was played on the radio (not often enough, IMO) If I was driving, I'd always have to pull over because I couldn't see through all my tears. The heartfelt words and music immediately take me back to childhood summers in rural Kentucky; such a sweet and simple time. When it's my time to leave this life, I pray that God will grant me the gift of reliving those memories in my final moments, like he so perfectly sings about in this song.
Craig Morgan, thank you so much for this precious song 💛
Having grown up in rural Kentucky myself, I understand where you're coming from.
I can remember the first time I heard this , on my way home after a very long day at work . So many things on my mind and in my heart . So ging along to this song . I had to pull over because I was crying uncontrollably. . It's one song that brings out the emotions that I rarely let out . But so many moments in that song was taken out of my life . 3 VC en down to falling to sleep in the cold . Deer hunting with my brother . He saved my life because I'd froze to death . Miss my brother Ray so much .
I was the mid day air talent at KMOO 99.9 FM the year this was released. I put together two year end shows with listener picks. This WAS the NUMBER 1 MOST REQUESTED and Listener Favorite SONG OF THE YEAR! I am a hard critic and I couldn't have agreed MORE!

“Right now I’d be fishing” gets me every time. RIP to my fishing buddy. 6-17-1999
My dad always told a story about Dyersburg, Tennessee, and him and his buddies in the 30's, saw a plane fly over town (rare sight) so they jumped on their old fixed up bikes and rode down to a dirt road near a landing strip outside of town, and bounced barefoot across a field of dandelions to the airstrip only to find the plane didn't land there. There was a small Mississippi tributary nearby with an old empty houseboat tied off on the edge of the shore line, so they all explored the boat and took turns jumping off into the water. After, drying off in the sun, they jogged back across the field back to their bikes, bouncing between patches of dandelions again, with bees hovering around the patches of the flowers. Dad said he was in the rear, when his barefoot came down on a snake. Said he took off like a rocket, passing everyone to the bikes on the side of the old dirt road. When he got there, bent over from being out of breath, said he couldn't even hardly see his feet, from all the weeds and dandelions stuck between all his toes. God bless that man. WW II combat Merchant Marine.
This songs makes me crawl into the fetal position and thank God for artists like Craig Morgan whose stories hide in melodies that pull me somewhere I didn’t know I needed to go. But you get it. Bless you. Love you man.
Currently in that EXACT feeling! This song has sooo much meaning 🥺
I was walking across the parking lot one morning of my local Walmart store and I heard the words to this song over the intercom. I literally stopped in my tracks and listen to the lyrics of this song. Something came over me that I can only describe as the Holy Ghost. God bless you and your generations Mr. Craig Morgan.
I heard this song at work for the first time. Here I am almost 10 years later.
32 years old and this song takes me to childhood in an instant.
Nothing better than a country evening with your family 💙
Vivid memory of my first time hearing this.. was helping my daddy clean out his garage when it came on the radio.. he turned it up & said "I kno you don't do country but listen, this is a bad ass song!" I remember him grabbing one of his fishing poles for the right now I'd be fishin part lol.. jst a few short months later I lost him to pancreatic cancer.. find myself listening to this at least once a day & always picture him w that fishing pole

Thanks dear and nice to meet you 💝
I can just see your daddy holding that fishing pole... thanks for that. This song has touched so many people in so many ways.
Lost my pawpaw in January. This song males me think of him and all the stories of his childhood.
Hello 👋
Lived in the country when I was really young, there’s nothing like it for a young soul. This song hits a spot that no others can.
Hello Courtney
I Know
This song hurts too much for words.
The sound of grinding teeth is all i hear.
Pray everyone can find their peace.
Christ, I pray we can all find our peace.
AMEN....❤
I cannot get through the first bridge without crying. I love this song. My heaven would be running through the woods on Falling Water Creek in Arkansas with every dog I have ever owned. I can feel the breeze in my wet hair when I listen to this song. I can smell the fresh cut hey, and mamas' cobbler. Whoever wrote this song, THANK YOU!
Ever since this song came out I've been a fan of Craig Morgan. Such a great song! Tells a great story.
He tells about his life in his songs! He is awesome! ❤
Not bad for a ole Green Beret Lol absolutely beautiful song
@@ronaldknisley9792 some of them green berets worked harder than you ever have/will be able to 😉
listen to this aint nothin
a great story
This song painted such a picture for me the first time I heard it. Sometimes what we perceive to be is often far from reality. This has always been one of my favorites besides Sunday.
I cry every time I hear this song my son who is at time, strung out on drugs can sing and play this song,prayers please for what's going on In his life.
yes sir

I hope he finds his way.
Please consider those prayers as being said. God bless you.
May ur son find his way and be healed in JESUS SWEET NAME...AMEN
What a story this song tells. Here is a man who was going through a really hard time in his life. He falls asleep and begins to dream about a place where pain was nonexistent and life was carefree. A moment that the cold weather and hunger he was facing seemed like a vacation. Then along comes someone and wakes him up from the relief from the pain he was experiencing. I can totally relate when he says I wish you just left me Alone because i was Almost Home. It would be like climbing that cliff just to get to the top only to fall back to where you started. Powerful powerful song if you really dissect it
This song hits different when you’re an adult 🥺 I was a kid when this song came out now I’m about to be 24 an this song is just WOW.
My uncle died today at 86 and he told my nephew that he was almost home, he was homeless whenI was a kid, he slept in cardboard boxes, and on benches in Allen Gardens .Thank you
As a child I lived in a neighborhood named cottonwood street. This song hits so deep for me. Thank you Craig Morgan🙏
Nothing reminds me of fond childhood memories from long ago more than than this song. Nothing reminds me of what its like to be old & longing to go home to the Lord like this song.
This song has came to me at times where I really needed it and made me realize that I’m more fortunate than I could ever imagine also when I was overseas and Craig Morgan came to fob shank and put on a concert for us really brought the morale up in my unit the man is the real deal he doesn’t need computer tuning and all that mess just pure vocals and he is just as real of a person as he is a singer not many you can say that about these day anyways thank you Craig Morgan for caring about our troops as you know what it’s like to be one and just being a real human being hard to find these days.
@Cody Braly Thank you for your service. You are appreciated!
This is such a emotional song for me. 2 Months before my dad passed in 2003 we sat at this park near the hospital in Elmira New York. And we witnessed a tree letting all this white stuff flying every where. The nurse in the hospital said it was a cottonwood tree.
This has to be one of the most touching songs that I have ever heard! I listen and tear up and cry. Having been in a similar situation. Alcohol is a poison for some people. That song touches my very soul. Thanks for your God given talent to deliver this song like no one else ever could.
I always loved this song..never thought I'd live it
I'm sorry man
@Keith Stewart memories of our Childhood. The best year's of our lives.

Bless his Soul

Didn't God, help write this song!!!!
This song gives me goose bumps every single time without fail. It really touches on so many things.
Goose bumps are the Holy Spirit.
One of THE.....greatest songs ever. Makes this grown man cry.
I just want to let you know how much the song at one time in my life I tried to commit suicide because I didn't think anybody in the world cares about me I just wanted to go see God but they found me they did because I was almost home I listen to this song because you're one hell of an Entertainer also you saved my life because when I thought about it again I thought about my son I thought about everybody but me thank you so much for saving my life may God be with you wherever you go and keep you safe
I don't know you, but I care and I hope you're doing well now.
Thank you very much for your concern on doing very well thank you I was with the person that was a very abusive so I thought I can't get away from him I might as well die before he kills me I'm lucky to say that I'm away from that person I have a brand new life and it is a beautiful life your song because I was almost sincerely there's Rachel frankenbaker

Helped me get out of a verbal abusive relationship finally gave me the courage to say enough is enough
My parents are 89. A lot of their friends have died as well as family members. They talk a lot about the past. This world has changed so much. It’s difficult and discouraging for them. They are ready just waiting to go home because they know that they’re “Almost Home” Thank you for this song Craig.
One of the best written songs I ever heard. Powerful! Definitely in my top 10 of all times.
I love craig Morgan. He sings from the heart!
Thanks dear and nice to meet you 💝
My Uncle Doug died September 7th 2023 I played your song at his funeral, he was homeless for a long time , sleeping on and under benches and in cardboard boxes, at the hospital he told me he was almost home, this song was so fitting. THANK YOU.

I miss him everyday.
It's been 10 years, but feels like yesterday.
This song is like drifting hard into a turn, I HIT THE WALL, EVERY TIME :'--/

Powerful lyrics invoke deep nostalgia. While my family had many "nuances," there WAS a lot to Love, and NOW a lot to miss.
I was listening to this song before I accidentally overdosed. I died listening to this song.. but thankfully i was resuscitated. I thank god every day.
Congratulations on your sobriety ❤I'm happy you're here! I pray that I can say the same...one day 😢
I lost my best Friend right after this song came out near 20 years now still reminds me of of every time
Never fails, every time I listen to this I get something in my eye.
It's called a finger. When you wipe the tears your finger magically goes in your eye to wipe them away. 😊
I miss you so much, Dad. I would pay anything to hold you again. Dementia stole you away from us girls and damn does it burn hot in our hearts. Tonight’s whiskey is for you, old man ♥️
Such an amazing song by an amazing singer. Seen Craig Morgan in concert 3 times. So humble and down to earth. Not an asshole with a big head like so many others who hit the big time.
My son said to me, mom listen to this song! One of my favorites! Saw tears in his eyes, as he sang away with this song. This is an amazing song, so many of us, feel this deep!! I Was Almost Home💝
Mr.morgan this was one of my mom's favorite and she been gone for almost 5 years so every time I hear this song I want to cry because I miss her
this song would always come on the radio growing up. i would ask my mom to change it. my mom and dad have always had the country station on since i can remember. i just turned 21 this past december and my daughter was born in may. this song came on the other day and i kept it on. the whole time i thought about the millions of rides to southern ohio to my grandparents to spend time with my pap and grandma. on their angus beef cow farm. going with my cousins to seneca lake to the campground. church on sunday. playing tag on the hay bales. i’m lucky enough to say i still go see pap and grandma and my brother and i still play tag on them hay bales. one day i’ll miss the hell out of it and this song is a perfect example of that. sorry for skipping you all these years, Mr.Morgan. i came back around though ! 🤝
My volunteer fire department literally had this call.
That old man did NOT want to get into the ambulance.
What happened man?
I really wanna hear this story too!
OK.the SO called in a possible cold weather fatality only the man was still alive.
He was at his end & wanted to fade out dreaming of better days yet here was this bunch of people laying him on a gurney & loading him in an ambulance to go get warmed & treated for frostbite and other problems. He fought & cussed us all the way to the hospital.
Is that what you wanted to hear?That we saved a man who was remembering his best days & we took that from him?
Fucking vultures
@@doughesson vultures? Damn bro we jus wanted to hear the story fuck lol maybe don’t comment something like your original comment if you can’t bare telling the story. Sounds like your fighting some demons bud.
@@cstone6184 No one calls 911 b/c they're having a good day.
If you ask a firefighter, EMT, cop,ER doctor or nurse what their worst day was like, they'll tell you & use descriptions graphic enough with a big grin that will MAKE sure that you regret asking.
By far my most favorite country song. I sing (terribly) every word, lump in throat and all.
I lost my daddy almost a year ago he told me about his life, back when franklin was just a little old town. He always fussed at me for jumpin off the rope swing, into the harpth. We would drive our car, out carter's creek pk towards the country...looking for box turtles to keep for awhile, or to catch lightning bugs in a jar overnight. For some reason I can't find these things anymore, for my kids.. but we still drive, with the windows down and appreciate good music..that'll never change.
Your song for your son has been played by me hundreds of times. I remember praying for your family when you lost him
6/20/19 my song committed suicide......I feel as though it's just you, singing to me.
Thank you, an Lord bless you for sharing your true heart. My son ,my Father and the holy ghost! You saved my life. I hope to meet you one day.
Nay our Father hold you closely forever
This song reminds me of a great guy I met in West Virginia. He was mowing grass and all these bees came chasing after him.We went 4 wheeling in the hills of West Virginia. I can say it was some of the greatest moments of my life. He was an amazing guy although he broke my heart. I will always have found memories of him! Every time I hear this song it reminds me of those good times. I love this song!
My dads best friend owned a hardware store in the early 70s, in a town with a population of about 1500, I still see the cane poles outside for sale with the bobbers blowing in the wind, and I still smell mamas supper on the stove, and the excitement of my dad telling me to grab my pole, we were headed fishing after he got off work, me and my best friend climbing out of trees deer hunting, unless youve lived it, you cant understand it.
Mannn....I Love this ol song ....but it makes this ol Soldier eyes cloud up hard and at times lose it ...my Aunts and Uncles are gone ... Mom and Dad are gone ...just my Sister's and Cousins now ...but nothing like the days growing up back then... time has change and people have change ....time waits on no one ...nothing but alot of Memories to hold on to ,that keep me going ,till my turn to leave out of here comes ...God Bless us All ....
Reminds me as a kid miss the good days before the world got bad where we had no cell phones and just a house phone and cane poles to fish with as bamboo

Thanks so much for putting your heart and soul into your music. I’m 65 years old and this song touches so much of my childhood. It brings me closer to my parents who have passed and a reminder of how important the smallest of memories are. Having grown up on a small farm the smell of fresh mown hay, cane poles, dirt roads, honey bees, playing in creeks, and I can smell that blackberry cobbler on the stove still. Thanks again. May God bless you and yours
I agree Jordan Lee.
Yes sir I do miss those days I’m 60 remember my cane pole dam!
@@keithross4962 AMEN!
So glad to see artist with a heart and soul. You hold the line Craig. Never will neglect a cottonwood tree again.
I am replying to myself. Jesus is the reason!
In 1979 I was a Police Officer in St. Louis area I got a call of man sleeping in Dumpster. The guy had jump suit on and was covered in trash. Later in my career at another Department had another homeless man in small stone shelter dead winter it was 10 Degrees. Wearing six pairs of pants. I tried to help both. With no luck.
Later when Craig Morgan wrote this incredible song I always reflect on these two guys.
I handled many homeless people it’s sad but their way of life
My son past away in08 this was the song his sister and I picked for him it touches my heart every time Mr. Morgan I want to thank you for singing this song you have touched not only me but my whole family if you ever close to myrtle beach sc and want to salt water fish or flounder gigging I'm captain joe Roberts you can bring 4 people and we will make sure you have the time of tour life I garentee and come hungry I'll cook on the boat in short thank you and with you have a friend for life
Oh man thus song hits home, if ever experienced the rejection of your own family or expelled from your own home then you would know and feel the lyrics of this song....
I've just become homeless and this song makes me cry
Are you somewhere safe and warm? Praying on your situation 🙏.
Phillip, stay strong and BELIEVE you're going to get somewhere better soon. Don't be ashamed to ask for help, it's out there. Know you aren't alone EVER, and loved more than you know.
@@sandyjones1014 I was living with my brother for the past 6 months I have a job at Mercedes-Benz detailing cars but he did kick me out recently because he is about to have another kid which I understand but I am living at a hotel right now I've been here two days this is the third day I'll get money next week from my job but right now I'm just looking for a room to rent and if that doesn't work then I guess I'll be living out of motels until I can figure something out
Hello Craig..
I remember when this came out years ago..
Whenever I hear this song, it never fails.. Tears start flowing yet I sing out loud, like nobody's listening..
Try crying through tears and a stuffed up nose.. I always have the same reaction to this song, no matter where I am..
I watched the video with yourself and Jelly Roll right before this, and that brought tears.. Scrolled down and saw this, had to listen again..
More tears, more singing..
Thank you Craig..
You can't beat Craig his songs are so heart felt.
I saw Craig Morgan with Alan Jackson, Little Big Town and Keith Anderson back in 2007 at Country Fest @ Cadott, WI. Powerful performance, and worth every dime that we paid for the tickets. Thank you, Craig.
i have been homeless and dreamed like that wake in morning thought it was real
I lost my mom in March, I use to listen to this with her, as I cried over the loss of my husband. I just keep going in hopes I'll see her again one-day in the kingdom of God and pray for that for you
Thanks dear and nice to meet you 💝
❤
Just lost my husband oh God I miss him
This is Craig Morgans song bruv. Like, he sings it so masterfully. Any other artist to sing this song wouldnt even come close to how good this is.
