Still Got Legs

 Vanessa Williams - Legs (Keep Dancing)

VERSE 1:

I'm still here, still standing, still kicking
In fact I'm the best I've ever been (Uh)
Who sets a limit when we all fall apart?
I'm about to give 'em hell again
So say what you say
Expect me to fade
I don't think about it
I don't think about it
Got work left to do
And I'm not close to through
Not while I still got these legs

CHORUS:

They say the legs are the last to go
I'ma keep dancing
I'm still putting on the show
I'ma keep dancing
Till I can't do it no more
I go where they take me
'Cause the legs are the last thing, so
I'ma keep dancing

VERSE 2:

My time is managed doing much better things
Than trying to prove myself to you
So time was standing
If I gotta sing, you're gonna find me dancing too
So I made up my mind
When the world is unkind
I don't think about it
I just don't think about it
So here's what I do
I step in these shoes

REPEAT REFRAIN

BRIDGE

They might take me to Paris, it's alright
If it's Atlanta, San Francisco same night
If it's New York down to LA
I found there's only one thing left to say
Watch these legs

REPEAT REFRAIN

I was just randomly perusing through Youtube and found out that my girl Vanessa L Williams released a new single in anticipation of her new musical called Devil Wears Prada based on the successful novel and movie by the same name.   She mentioned paying homage to the legendary actress Diahann Carroll.  Carroll was the inspiration behind the song title, having penned a biography titled "The Legs Are The Last To Go: Aging, Acting, Marrying, And Other Things I Learned The Hard Way".

I have to say it's so nice to see that Vanessa is still doing her thing in her 60's.   She's come a long way from her Ms. America days.    She got the last laugh in the end and from this video is showing that she's still here and a force to reckon with.

It's definitely my newest ear-gasm and is serving as inspiration to all of us as we get older.  I will say I have to pat myself in the back as well.   Here I am about to turn 52 and I recently got a promotion and today I officially got some new responsibilities in my role.   Not bad for a guy my age.   I'm still kicking.   

My legs are actually my nicest assets.  Even Mama used to compliment me on my calves back in the day.   My legs seem to ache a bit more these days.  It could be because of all the walking I've been doing with my office commute.   But I still have time left...God willing.   Like Vanessa sings, I'ma keep dancing.
