Gene Watson - Honky Tonk Crazy

Ashes To Ashes

Your memory is something
That I never could seem to lose
Lord, I tried everything
Even drowning your memory in booze
So I finally decided to lay down
And die with the pain
Oh, but my heart kept on beating
And softly repeating your name

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
My heart and my mind know
You're still here with us
When they lay me away
The last words they'll speak
Here lies a man
That don't rest in peace

God gave me your love
And God knows I threw it away
Oh, what I've put you through
Is the same hell I'm living today
But praying don't help
So dying's the best I can do
But when it's all said and done
I'll still have these memories of you

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
My heart and my mind know
You're still here with us
When they lay me away
The last words they'll speak
Here lies a man
That don't rest in peace

Here lies a man
That don't rest in peace
