Hangin' In There

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
