    Reminds me of my childhood, climbing trees, my mother yelling for me, fishing at the creek and my dad would pick me up in his truck and I'd jump in the back, wind in my face. Oh that little boy remembers his love of growing up, my parents so loving. Thank you mom and dad!! I never forget.........

    Beautiful song... but deeply sad at the same time. I used to manage a place for homeless men, addicts, and alcoholics... after I was homeless myself. This song touched me on several levels. God be with you all.

    This song touched my heart years ago and is still resonating with me today. Personally I think it may be one of the best written songs of all time. Craig has a voice that can take you there and make you feel the what he is singing. This song reminds me of my grandfather growing up on the creek banks in West Virginia. He is really sick now and I know the time is coming. So just hang in there a little bit longer Pap you are Almost Home.

    what the hell is wrong with everybody? this is the song of the century
    do people even comprehend what this song is about?
    I don't think so
    WHAT is wrong with me?
    I have never listened to THIS song and not cried a tear........
    "Where've You Been" by Kathy Mattea was the last song that did that to me and that was DECADES ago
    I don't think it's just age
    this song is gripping..

I had pause it less people look at wondering what's wrong with me. I'm at McDonald's, so am not alone. Gonna listen to it in private and let the tears and snot flow 'cause I 'm homeless and I miss my Mom..

    Love these "unplugged" sessions. Pure sound, natural, wonderful acoustic guitar (even if amplified) not covered up by other electronic distractions. This song from Mr Morgan carries such a great message. The innocence of youthful days and the complications of growing older having nothing more than the clothes on your back.

    All it takes is the first 5 notes of the guitar to choke me up. Sad to think there are so many homeless in this country. The subtle play on words, Almost Home. Is he referring to memories of his childhood or is he talking about dying and going "Home" to G_d. I am not a big country fan but this song gets me every time.

      Sounds to me he is saying memories ...that he was dreaming about

      It's both. A dying homeless man is recalling memories of home and hoping heaven is gonna be like that.

    I've always loved this song. It's the only one I can name off the top of my head and know all of the words to by him but, I know there are a couple others by him that I like. I never really knew what he looked like though I've listened to the song on the radio a lot. Who knew he was a handsome guy.

    The old man was sleeping and dreaming about his childhood when he shook him.
