Gettin' My Steps

*(Verse 1)* Well, my baby got a gadget, say it tell her what to do, She walkin’ in circles, sayin’, “I ain’t got my steps through!” Ain’t haulin’ no cotton, ain’t choppin’ no wood, Just pacin’ that floorboard like nobody never should. *(Chorus)* Oh, ten thousand steps, Lord, why so many? I walk where I’m goin’, ain’t that plenty? Ain’t no numbers gonna tell me to move, If my feet start walkin’, they got nothin’ to prove. *(Verse 2)* Saw a man on the corner, walkin’ to and fro, Said he need more steppin’ for his worth to show. I said, “Man, you lost? You need a place to go?” He said, “No, just my [step count] runnin’ too low!” *(Chorus – Repeat)* Oh, ten thousand steps, Lord, why so many? I walk where I’m goin’, man, ain’t that plenty? No numbers gonna tell me when to move, If my feet start walkin’, I got nothin’ to prove. *(Bridge)* Now my woman say, “Baby, you gotta get fit,” I said, “Ain’t my stridin’, just my troubles won’t quit.” Ain’t no ticker on my wrist gon’ tell me I’m free, I been walkin’ my whole life, that’s enough steps for me. *(Solo)* *(Chorus)* Oh, ten thousand steps, Lord, I just don’t see, I got places to go, let my feet walk free. Don’t need no contraption, buzzin' like no bees, Gon' be just fine, walkin’ 'round as I please.
