Twenty years ago a doctor told me
If I didn't smoke or drink no more
I just might live another year
I said what the hell, too late now
Can't slow down, don't know how
That doctor's in his grave and I'm still here
Hanging in there
My bones are creaking, but I'm hangin’ in there
My plumbing's leaking, but I'm hangin’ in there
Living and loving every day
Yesterday my dog got bit, my garbage spilled
My car got hit, paid a hundred dollars just for towing
Bounced a check, broke a dish, hurt my neck, lost a fish
And I was late to work and my boss said
How's it going?
I said I’m hangin’ in there
My hair is thinner, but I’m hangin’ in there
Sleepy after dinner, hangin’ in there
Living and loving every day

My dad's idea of pleasure was money in the bank
Mom said gold gets cold without a love to share
My uncle searched for treasure in every glass he drank
And Grandpa told me Sonny, just hang in there.

A gal in the pool, sure looked cute
Lost the top of her bikini suit
Like a gentleman I dived right in and saved the day
She kissed me in gratitude
Her husband showed up, what a dude
That's how my nose got bent this way
Hangin' in there
My beam is broader, but I’m hangin’ in there
Grandson’s got a daughter, hangin’ in there
Living and loving every day
I once fell into a vat of wine
Just one way to keep from dying
Stand on my toes and drink, and I was doing it.
Next morning someone saw my head
Pulled me out and I gasped and said:
I knew some jerk would come along and ruin it.
Hanging in there
I still love girls and liquor, hangin’ in there
I get tired quicker, hangin’ in there
Living and loving every day
I've known folks who scrimped and sweat
Saving for some future debt
They had a lot of money, when they passed away
I don't have much but you can bet
Nobody here has seen the future yet
I'm enjoying what I've got today
Hanging in there
My wallet’s lighter but I’m hangin’ in there
My pants are tighter but I’m hanging in there
Living and loving every day
