Ashes By Now

(Rodney Crowell)



This morning is Monday where are you now

Teasin' my memory teaching me how

To lay low when I don't want to.



Well, love is elusive this I know now

It's making me crazy leaving me out

In the open when I don't want to.



The moments of pleasures never do last

Are gone like a suitcase full of your past

Long gone and in a hurry.



Baby, I can't go through this again

I don't need to go down more then I've already been

Just like a wild fire you're running all over town

As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now.



The second street beggars alone in their life

Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night

Like I am They're just like I am.



Baby, I can't go through this again

I don't need to go down more then I've already been

Just like a wild fire you're running all over town

As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now.



Just like a wild fire you're running all over town

As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now.



Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

I should be ashes by now...
