This song is how i feel when im having a dream of my grandparents place. They raised me and my brother from the time i was 6 months old. Pa died in 1988 and granny died in July of 95. I loved that place and its still my home in my heart. 146 acres of farm land. When i get woke up from those dreams I get so mad lol

The old man wasn't talking about dying. He was homeless and curled up behind some garbage cans and covered with the evening news 'newspapers' for warmth and 'dreaming' of the better days of his youth. In the dream he was drip-drying after jumping into Calico-Creek and running from some honey bees etc... He wanted to be left alone because of the fond memories the dream was bringing and in it... 'He was almost home'.

When I hear this song it reminds me of him. He looked up one last time. I can hear him say man if you would have left me alone I was almost home. I laugh a little cause that's something he would say I was almost home. Lol he was a good ol' country boy who loved the outdoors . I hope he is waiting for me and my son we would sure like to go fishing with him..

@@VickiRN97 you know what's weird, these train wrecks weren't as common for the WWII generation . Always wondered why. Then I reflected on why that was. Then I thought back. Virtually everyone of that age was in the military, your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers. When you woke up in the middle of the night with nightmares and shakes, you could know on your neighbors door and he'd just open it. Let you in, put a pot of coffee on and talk it through with you. He got, he'd been their too. Now there ain't so many of us vets. No neighbors to talk you down and relate. The generation i feel worst for is the Vietnam vets who were spit on and called baby killer. They were the vets that came before me and it was worst.

The first verse sets the scene that we find the homeless guy where he has lost his will to live. When another man wakes him up, the homeless man had become even more crestfallen, because he was pulled away from his peace. The chorus is the homeless man telling him what his interpretation of heaven was like, and if the other man didn't wake him up, he would've been there for good. The second verse has the homeless man tell him that he would've had a delicious supper with his family when he was woken up. he describes every sense that he had experienced up until he was woken up. He then repeats the description of heaven that he would've made it to. When the other man tries to help him in the real world, by bringing him to any form of sanctuary here on earth, the HM refuses and said that Heaven was the only sanctuary. As the image of this man's heaven is repeated again, it's finally cemented in the listener's mind what the HM had been wanting in what would've been his final moments on Earth, if not for the person telling this story.

In many ways, heaven is whatever is in your mind. You can be facing tough times, terrible times, but when you close your eyes, or go to sleep, you can drift off to your own personal heaven. The guy in the song was on the edge of death, and as they say, his life was flashing before his eyes till he was awakened by a good Samaritan. So many people are "Almost Home", some go home, but not many can see someone who needs to be woke up and offer that ride to the mission. I have my own little slice of heaven I like to revisit in my mind from time to time, but I'm not planning a trip "home" anytime soon.

If that man had left him alone, he would have gotten his wish.

Ty, actually Kerry Reynolds who co-wrote the song said they left it open ended to let the listener interpret how you wish. I have seen it in 2 ways- the 1st being the homeless man was dreaming of a time from his childhood when things were much different and he was happy but he was awoken before he got home to see his Mom again. I also have seen it from the point of laying there in the cold and freezing to death, literally, and he was dreaming of getting home to Heaven and how beautiful it would be but now he has stopped that from happening. Craig Morgan is a great story teller in all his songs.

Funny how songs take you back. Craig Morgan came to Iraq in 2004. While there, he learned that a soldier had sung this song at the memorial for a fallen leader who had withdrawn his retirement paperwork to go to Iraq with the unit. The leader was killed there. I remember Craig finding the soldier and inviting him to do it as a duet. Halfway through the chorus, he handed the soldier the mic, said "you've got this," and left the room! He came back a few moments later with a video recorder and recorded the rest of the song. Guarranteed that neither the soldier nor his teammates will forget that moment! Much respect for the artist, the soldier, and those who served beside them.

Ty, I think that for many (certainly not all) people, death comes to be accepted as the next step rather than as something to dread and postpone as long as possible. I know this was true of My Hero (my husband) as his cancer metastasised and spread. He wasn't afraid of death, just of having a prolonged, painful death. At the end, the last gift of love I could give him was to be the person who stood between him and all the well intentioned suggestions for prolonging his life. I was holding his hand when he died and I know he did not die in pain because I fought for him. I think living homeless in the US could bring a person to the same place.
