Story Behind The Song
I am a senior who began a new career at the age of 60. I am now 66. Since 60 I have written 60 songs and three books. I am not an entertainer and motivation speaker. I wrote this song to encourage others to fully live their lives, at what ever age they are.
Song Description
Too many seniors feel life has passed them by. They must believe they still have important and exciting things to do.
This is a fun, up song and gets everyone excited

Lyrics
GET UP, GET OUT, GET GOIN
They call us senior citizens. We?re in our golden years.
We?ve cared for our families, through all the trials and tears.
We?ve done our part in politics. In the community did our best
We?ve volunteered for everything. We?ve earned the right to rest.
Then they say:
Get out of that old rockin chair. Away from that TV
You?ve got a lotta of years to live, They tell us. Can?t you see?
Could live to be one hundred or even a few years more
Get up, Get out, Get mov?in, so life won?t be a bore
To tell the truth we?re really pooped. This rockin chair feels good
We?ll sit and rock our memories. Then die in a real good mood
But, maybe they?re right, this rockin?s just goin no where
There are lots of things that I could do. If I only dare
I?ll get outta my old rockin chair. Away from my TV
I gotta lot of years to life, as I can plainly see
Could live to be one hundred, or even a few years more
I?ll get up, get out, get movin. So life won?t be a bore
So all you senior citizens, get up, get out, get moving
So life won?t be a bore. Hey there is so much more
Get outta of you old rockin chair. Away from you TV
You?ve gotta lot of years to live. As you can plainly see
Could live to be one hundred, or even a few years more
Get up, get out, get movin, so life won?t be a bore
Get up, get out, get moving. Hey there is so much more
Go see what?s in store.
