Gene Watson - Ashes to Ashes lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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
