I'm Capturing My Steps

I'm capturing my steps

I'm counting every one

Aiming for ten thousand before the day is done

I don't always make it

It's a challenge sometimes, son

Still, I'm capturing my steps

I'm counting every one

I'm measuring the pressure

That's pumping through my veins

Systolic, diastolic

There's this recommended range

Some days great, some days meh, some days really strange

I'm measuring the pressure

That's pumping through my veins

Step by step

Beat by beat

Trying to outrun the clock

With a cuff on my arm

Sneakers on my feet

I'm on speed-dial with my doc

And then there's that cholesterol

Lots of numbers there

The good, the bad, the what is that?

You must proceed with care

'Cause arteries get cloggy, man

With no room left to spare

I'm watching my cholesterol

And all those numbers there

Breath by breath, I try to keep

All the house lights on

Step by step

Beat by beat

I keep on keeping on

It's a pill for this, a pill for that

Do what the doctors say

Watch your sugar, mind your fat

Eat healthy every day

I'm tryin', doc, I swear I am

But it ain't no fun

Still, I'm capturing my steps, I am

I'm counting every one

I'm counting every one

I'm counting every one
