Almost Home (Craig Morgan song)
According to songwriter Kerry Kurt Phillips , the homeless man 's explanation that he is `` almost home '' is intentionally open - ended , and can mean that the man had almost reached home in his dream , or that he is about to die and go to Heaven : `` A lot of people ask me if the guy almost died ( ... ) was he dying or dreaming ? It 's funny how people have different interpretations . That 's the neat thing about a song , and I think understatement is the key to a good song ... leaving enough room for the listener to draw their own conclusion ( ... ) so I never answer them on that .
