about

One of the mellower cuts from the Ol' Yeller "Nuzzle" album (2002), for awhile we performed it with Dale Kallman on Fender Rhodes piano!

lyrics

Passed Ambition

You'll never catch me in bed before midnight
I'm a late night person all the way
And the more I accomplish in one day
The more I am likely to do the next
I forget about momentum when I sit on the couch all depressed

I get caught up in the whereabouts
Of the have-nots and the haven't ever beens
But if everything was easy
I'd make the same mistakes over again
Now time doesn't creep by it flies by and here we are, my friend

Ambition is one word that's been forgotten
Ambition is like something from the past
Ambition-that's just something for other people
Ambition just got smoked up with the grass

Now, if there's something to recall it is ambition
For don't you know the song remains the same
Whether or not you ever hit the big time
And whether anybody knows your name
You just can't go back to from where you came
