I just climbed out of the cotton wood tree

I was running from some honey bee's

Drip-drying in the summer breeze

I was walkin down an old dirt road
G G/F#
Past a field of hey that had just been mowed
Em C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
D G
Cause I was almost home
Then he said, I was just comin round the barn,
Bout the time you grabbed my arm
I heard momma holler son hurry up
I was close enough for my own nose
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
I saw daddy loadin up the truck

cane poles on the tailgate, bobbler's blowin in the wind
since July of 55, that's as close as I've been, Yea
(go to chorus)

I said old man you're gonna freeze to death,
Em
Let me drive you to the mission
C
He said boy if you'd left me alone

Right now I'd be fishin
