Ambrosia

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My name is Ambrosia, I take care of mother I won't go to bed 'til I know that she's alright Pancakes for breakfast, ice cream for dinner She says to live every day like it's the best days of our lives [Verse 2] The doctors are calling; we just let it ring, now And Mama just laughs, like a kid on a Sunday drive, saying "Doctor, I do believe I'll smoke cigars like a dying queen You know, I gotta live every day like it's the best day of my life." [Chorus] 'Cause we got the same roof over our heads They say we are blessed, they say we are blessed Got our whole lives just up ahead Don't know that yet, we don't know that yet Got the same roof over our heads Got the same blood, we got the same hands Got our whole lives just up ahead We don't know that yet, we don't know that yet [Verse 3] My brother's a dealer, he sells on the corner He always comes home when he smells her rhubarb pie Now Mom's hands are shaking, so I do the baking She counts out her pills, clears her throat for one last time, saying [Verse 4] "My dearest children, this is no sermon May you never take for granted all that you are 'Cause I may be passing, but you're still my champions We gotta live every day, every day like it's the best days of our lives." [Chorus] 'Cause we got the same roof over our heads They say we are blessed, they say we are blessed Got our whole lives just up ahead Don't know that yet, we don't know that yet Got the same roof over our heads Got the same blood, we got the same hands Got our whole lives just up ahead Don't know that yet, we don't know that yet Got the same roof over our heads They say we are blessed, they say we are blessed Got our whole lives just up ahead Don't know that yet, we don't know that yet Got the same roof over our heads Got the same blood, we got the same hands Got our whole lives just up ahead We don't know that yet [Outro] We don't know that yet We don't know that yet We don't know that yet We don't know that yet
