Ashes By Now

Lyrics: Rodney Crowell
Music: Rodney Crowell

Sung by Rahnie Raines with Kingfish.

This morning is Monday, where are you now
Teasing 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

Baby, I can't go through this again
And 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 moments of pleasure, they never do last
They're gone like a suitcase filled with your past
They're long gone
And in a hurry

The second street beggars alone in their life
They're Drunk on the sidewalk to hide from the night
Like I am
They're just like I am

Baby, I can't go through this again
And 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

This morning is Monday, where are you now
Teasing 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

Baby, I can't go through this again
And 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

Baby, I can't go through this again
'Cause I don't need to go down, more then I've already been
And just like a wild fire, you're running 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
As much as you burn me, baby, I should be ashes by now
