Kid No More

(album: Road Island - 1982)

Well, it's beginning to take hold
That I'm getting too old to act the fucking fool that I feel maybe I'm just too lazy
To stop acting crazy and past the point of playing for real

But oh, it's making me
Old man, it's sure taking 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 pushing thirty but my legs are sturdy
And ready to run like hell
But I'd rather be racing '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

Getting all the loving 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 loving 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 acting 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 thinking
After doing what you did
Kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
