Hank Williams Jr Almost Nearly But Not Quite Plumb lyrics

Well I ain`t been home for so doggone long I almost forgot where I come from

Ain`t got no money but I still ain`t a bum I`m almost nearly but not quite plumb

A back last summer down by the sea I seen a pretty girl in ---

I snapped my fingers said son of a gun she`s almost nearly but not quite plumb

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



I met a pretty girl up in Chicago she said honey baby I love you so

She begged me to stay and not act like a bum

I`ve been almost nearly but not quite plumb

Friends ask me why I don`t take a wife settle down to a married life

They say it`s good as most and it`s better than some

I say I`m almost nearly but not quite plumb

Some people wonder how I live...

[ guitar ]

Just the other night out in Tucson I had a little date with a great big blonde

I took her home she said didn`t we have fun hmm almost nearly but not quite plumb

When it`s time for the final date with old Saint Pete`s at the pearly gate

He`ll say I hope you`re ready for your time`s come

I`ll say I`m almost nearly but not quite plumb

Some people wonder how I live...
