GETTIN' BUSY, GETTIN' OVER, GETTIN' OLD

Verse: Wish I knew the reason why the old folks smile
Like there’s some little secret they know
It just could be that they’re smiling at me
As they see my hair start to go.
Chorus: Now I don’t need a book to explain about the sixties
I was there watching the story unfold
It’s no rumor, I’m a full-blooded baby boomer
Gettin' busy, gettin' over, gettin' old.
Verse: Can’t remember the last time that I jumped out of bed
Or went running up two steps at a time
I may not be spry but at least most of the time I try
‘Cause giving up just ain’t worth a dime.
Bridge: It doesn’t happen all at once, in fact it kinda’ sneaks up on ya'
And just when you thought you could coast for awhile
You suddenly wake up one day with your last two hairs turning grey
Wearing a grimace some might think was a smile.
Chorus 2: Now I don’t need a book to explain about the sixties
I was there watching the story unfold
It’s no rumor, I’m a hopeless health food consumer
Gettin' busy, gettin' over, gettin' old.
Tag: Gettin' busy, gettin' over, gettin' old.
THE BEST WE CAN DO

VERSE 1:
Some men will use their power
To hide their sins in an ivory tower
So high they think no one will ever see
But we still have good men to be their rivals
With their eyes to the sky and their hands on a Bible
They are the very ones who made us free
CHORUS:
We've got to get ourselves up
Stand ourselves up
And dust off the red, white and blue
I hate to think that this is the best we can do
BRIDGE:
We must remember those who have fallen
We must hear our sons and daughters callin'
We owe it to those brave and few
To never let it be true that this is the best we can do
VERSE 2
Liberty hasn't lost her honor
We only need to call upon her
She'll lead us to the truth she has inside
So as long as we've got Old Glory waving
And this land is so full of things worth saving
If there's still one ounce of patriotic pride
CHORUS:
We've got to get ourselves up
Stand ourselves up
And dust off the red, white and blue
Never let it be true that this is the best we can do
TAG:
We've got to dust off the red, white and blue
And never let it be true that this is the best we can do
