Rodney Crowell
Ashes by Now
[Verse 1]
This morning is Monday, where are you now?
Teasin' my memory, teachin' me how
To lay low
When I don't want to
Your love is elusive, this I know now
It's makin' me crazy, leavin' me out
In the open
When I don't want to
The moments of pleasures never do last
They're gone like a suitcase full of your past
Long gone
And in a hurry

[Chorus]
Baby
I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down
More than I've already been
Just like a wildfire
You're runnin' all over town
As much as you burn me, baby
I should be ashes by now

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Baby
I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down
More than I've already been
Just like a wildfire
You're runnin' all over town
As much as you burn me, baby
I should be ashes by now

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Baby
I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down
More than I've already been
Just like a wildfire
You're runnin' all over town
As much as you burn me, baby
I should be ashes by now
As much as you burn me, baby
I should be ashes by now
