Lyrics Rodney Crowell

Rodney Crowell

Ashes By Now

This morning is Monday

Where are you now?

Teasin' my memory

Teaching me how to lay low when I don't want to

Your love is elusive this I know now It's making me crazy Leaving me out

In the open

When I don't want to

I don't know why you do that to me (really low, soft volume) go to lead

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 they 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

Aaaaaahh

Aaaaaahh

Should be ashes by now
