Almost Nearly But Not Quite Plumb Hank Williams Jr.

[Verse 1]
Well I ain't been home for so doggone long
I almost forgot a-where I come from
Ain't got no money but I still ain't a bum
I'm just almost nearly but not quite plumb

[Verse 2]
A back last summer down by the sea
I seen a pretty girl and a bucking knee
I snapped my fingers said, "Son of a gun"
She's almost nearly but not quite plumb

[Chorus]
Some people wonder how I live
Sometimes I pick sometimes I give
People say I'm a bum
I'm almost nearly but not quite plumb

[Verse 3]
I met a pretty girl up in Chicago
She said, "A-honey baby I love you so"
She begged me to stay and not follow my thumb
I did almost nearly but not quite plumb

[Verse 4]
Friends ask me why I don't take a wife
And settle down to a married life
They say, "It's good as most and it's better than some"
I say, "It's almost nearly but not quite plumb"
