Smiling salutations from a soldier boy
Dressed in blue denim and corduroy
They don't care what you say
If you talk fast they'll listen anyway
They're just hangin' on
They're just hangin' on
They're just hangin' on
Since I was born I've been fightin' time
I see the time passing and it eases my mind
That's not the way I should feel
Watchin' the clock makes it all unreal
I'm just hangin' on
I'm just hangin' on
I'm just hangin' on
Everyone around me is at their ends
Runnin' from their enemies and cryin' to their friends
It's got me thinkin' of
Why I'm so lonely and I'm callin' it love
I'm just hangin' on
I'm just hangin' on
I'm just hangin' on
I'm just hangin' on
I'm just hangin' on
