[A] [G]
He had plastic bags wrapped around his shoes.
He was covered with the evening news.
Had a pair of old socks on his hands.
The bank sign was flashing five below.
It was freezing rain and spitting snow.
He was curled up behind some garbage cans.
[E] [Bm] I was afraid that he was dead.
[G] I gave him a gentle shake.
[Bm] When he opened up his [D] eyes, I said,
Old man, are you okay?
And he said, I just climbed out [G] of a cottonwood tree.
And I was running from some [D] hunting bees.
[G] Dripped dry in the summer breeze.
After jumping [D] in a calico creek.
I was walking down [G] an older road.
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed.
[Em]
And man, I wish you'd just [G] left me alone.
[D] Cause I was almost [G]
home.
He said, I was just coming around the barn.
About the time he grabbed my arm.
[G] I heard mama holler, son hurry up.
I was close enough from my own home.
Smelled fresh cobbler on the stove.
When I saw daddy loading up the truck.
[Bm] Game poles on the tailgate.
[G] Fibers blowing in the wind.
[Bm] Since July of 55, [G] this is as close [D] as I've been.
Yeah, I just climbed out [G] of a cottonwood tree.

[Em] And man, I wish you'd [G] just left me alone.
[D]
Cause I was almost home.
I said, oh man, you're gonna freeze to [Em] death.
Let me drive you to the mission.
[G] He said, boy, if you'd left me alone.
[D] Right now I'd be fishing.
