This is a remix of my original track. The song was inspired from a response my dad had given my mom regarding a leaky faucet. This is for those of us who are much more into spring training than we are spring cleaning ...

Get Up And Go (Remix)

The car needs fixin’, and the shrubs need trimming,
and the paint can use a coat or two.
And out in the kitchen the faucet is drippin’,
and my weekend is filled with Honey do’s.
But I’ve worked all week and the time has come for me
to just relax and take life easy.
But you don’t understand why I am the way I am,
So, sit down honey, I’ll explain it if I can…

You see, my get up and go just got up and went.
My fast became slow, when my last dollar’s spent.
My yes became no, and my can became can’t
‘cause my get up and go just got up and went.
Yes, my get up and go just got up and went.

Now, the baseball game is on TV.
It’s calling my name and my destiny
is to sit on the couch and be lazy.
Now what’s the matter honey, why can’t you see…

That my get up and go just got up and went.
My fast became slow, when my last dollar’s spent.
My yes became no, and my can became can’t
‘cause my get up and go just got up and went.
Yes, my get up and go just got up and went.

So, on Saturday night I took out my wife
to apologize and make things right.
And she looked so good that when we went to bed,
you know, I asked her if I could, but she looked at me and said …

That her get up and go just got up and went.
Her fast became slow when my last dollar’s spent.
And her yes became no and my can became can’t
‘cause my get up and go just got up and went.

Oh, my get up and go just got up and went.
My fast became slow when my last dollar’s spent.
Her yes became no and my can became can’t
‘cause my get up and go just got up and went.
Oh, my get up and go just got up and went.

Oh, my get up and go got up and went. My get up and go got up and went.
My get up and go just got up and went.

Everything on here, except the vocals, is a BiaB track:

Drums: Brian Fullen _HKYTJON.STY
Bass: Dow Tomlin _HKYTJON.STY
Acoustic Rhythm: Jason Roller _HKYTJON.STY
Electric Rhythm: Darin Favorite _HKYTJON.STY
Piano: John Jarvis _HKYTJON.STY
Dobro: Rob Ickes _MODSYRG.STY

I still don't know if I've got the mix right, so please feel free to let me know.

The mix is perfect

A very clever song

I resemble the chorus wink

Great vocal and lyrics with a super backing band

I'd like to type more but my git up and go just got up and went grin

This is your best to date IMHO

Loved it

Brad,

A good write.

Vocal is strong.
Drums and bass are at a good level. Guitar, too.
The piano is a bit low in volume.
Dobro is busy.

fun song.

The mix is much better now... The dobro is still too busy, and doesn't sound natural because of the tempo mis-match between the your song tempo, and the tempo the Dobro RT was recorded at...
That said, everything else is fine... Great lyrics & singing...

Hi Brad,

You made cool lyrics for this song!
Just noticed Scott said the same, like Bloc-head, Floyd and Mario. So I'm in good company and your lyrics are good!

The rhythm of the song is 'country-cool'too, but I would have preferred some variety in your song.
Maybe some more vocals at certain spots in the chorus, some breaks in between, a transposition towards the end and a louder lead guitar.
But I'm no country expert.
Still my feet were tapping!

Thanks to everybody for their input. I may try again to get the piano a little louder and take out some more dobro. It's funny Dave, I've heard that old Aerosmith tune many times, but I didn't make the connection until you mentioned it. I'm afraid you'd be very disappointed in my vinyl collection. As a kid, nothin' but country was allowed in the house. My dad once caught my sister with an Aerosmith album and he threw it away. It was his phrase that inspired this particular song and I can't wait to tell him that despite his age and musical differences he and Steven Tyler speak the same language!

I think we had the same dad.

Mine broke a Ted Nugent album in half when he heard what was on it.

Oh, well. I still had my Chet Atkins.

Hi Brad ...

I can empathize with this! I'm a huge baseball fan - have 5 fantasy teams! Good song ... fun and toe=tapping. I do agree that the dobro lead doesn't fit as nicely as everything else. I my opinion, it needs to be a bit more relaxed. What i would do is try to find a dobra (or other) track that more or less equals the pace of your vocals. But all that said ... it's a dang fine song I enjoyed a lot.

We enjoyed the witty lyric and your performances, Brad, and we are both familiar with that “get up and go got up and went” thing. smile

Well done,
