(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
