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)

DI said old man you're gonna freeze to death,
       EmLet me drive you to the mission
        CHe said boy if you'd left me alone
