Ambrosia

Well, it's beginning to take hold
That I'm gettin' too old to act the f**kin' fool that I feel maybe I'm just too lazy
To stop actin' crazy and past the point of playin' for real

But oh, it's makin' me
Old man, it's sure takin' it's toll

Can't put on the brakes yet
Got the pedal to the floor
But man you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more

Well now I'm pushin' thirty but my legs are sturdy
And ready to run like hell
But I'd rather be racin' 'round
While she's busy face down in my 450 s.e.l

But whoa, little lady don't ask for my i.d
Don't wanna know, no I don't

Gettin' all the lovin' now I never had before
But kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more

Yeah, when you feel this way
Well you get your kicks and lovin' nearly every day
Yeah, when he feels this way
Then he knows what he wants and he takes what he gets and he...

I need a shot like a trigger from a potion in a jigger
To keep my motor razor clean
I might start actin' funny but don't worry honey
Just lay back and service my machine
I may be older but the grape gets sweeter
The longer that it's on the vine

You got no right in what you're thinkin'
After doin' what you did
Kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
