Deric Ruttan - Ashes To Asphalt Lyrics

A three word love letter, the first one I gave her
She's holding it now as she tries to be strong
But she takes one last look, then a match from a matchbook
And soon my love letter will be gone

As she leaves the driveway, pulls out on that highway
Flames curl around the words that I wrote
But she burns her hand, so it falls out the window
And my whole world goes up in smoke

Chorus
Standin' there in that dust cloud from her spinnin' tires
Starin' at the blacktop at a fast-burnin' fire
No this ain't the ending I had planned for us
Ashes to ashphalt, dreams to dust
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
