[Intro] (Upbeat, driving classic rock guitar riff) (Steady, pounding drum groove) [Verse 1] Every Wednesday morning at the strike of ten The local community gym fills up again In polyester blends and orthopedic soles We're gathered here together with the loftiest of goals Arthur's got a headband from nineteen-seventy-eight Martha's stretching out, she says she's tired of being late We grab our rubber bands and we circle up the chairs Warming up our shoulders, shaking off our cares [Chorus] We are the Silver Sneaker crew, we're fighting back the clock With a two-pound dumbbell and a little classic rock We step to the left, we step to the right Keeping father time completely out of sight We're pushing back the rust, we're building up the bone The strongest bunch of seniors that you have ever known [Verse 2] Coach is counting reps, she's calling "one, two, three" I'm looking down the line, trying to unlock my knee Harold's doing leg lifts, showing off his form While Brenda talks about the coming winter storm We don't need no mirrors, we don't need no vanity Just some basic balance and a bit of sanity Hydrating at the fountain, taking it in stride Got a fire in our bellies and a lifetime of pride [Chorus] We are the Silver Sneaker crew, we're fighting back the clock With a two-pound dumbbell and a little classic rock We step to the left, we step to the right Keeping father time completely out of sight We're pushing back the rust, we're building up the bone The strongest bunch of seniors that you have ever known [Bridge] (Electric guitar solo - energetic, classic blues-rock feel) They say that aging is a battle, but we've got the shield On this gym-class hardwood battlefield We might creak a little, we might pop and groan But we're never walking this long road alone [Verse 3] Class is wrapping up, we're doing cool-down bends Checking on our pulses and chatting with our friends We'll grab a cup of coffee and a pastry down the street Laughing at the gravity we managed to defeat [Chorus] We are the Silver Sneaker crew, we're fighting back the clock With a two-pound dumbbell and a little classic rock We step to the left, we step to the right Keeping father time completely out of sight We're pushing back the rust, we're building up the bone The strongest bunch of seniors that you have ever known [Outro] Yeah, we're walking out in style See you next Wednesday! (Big classic rock finish, guitar feedback fades out)
