Intro
Verse 1
Early in the fall, b
ack deep in the
woods
The f
irst hint of frost is upon
you
About a mile beyond a
field's stone
wall
It's
not hard to get lost if you w
ant to
Too far from the city to
see the white l
ights
I m
ove in the shadows under c
over of night
Too far from the highway to
blow a flat t
ire
So I s
tare at the ashes and f
ire
Instrumental
Verse 2
Well John St. Paul is a
well-known
man
Of
wealth in his skyscraper p
alace
He likes his old Cadillac
prepped for long d
rives
I don't l
ike how he looks at my A
lice
I work his garage with w
rench in my g
love
B
ring the stench of his gasoline h
ome to my love
She swears once again she has a
ll she d
esires
As
I stare at the ashes and f
ire
Instrumental
Verse 3
One day late last week when
I got the w
ord
The
boss needs his Caddy all s
teady
I remembered his eyes all o
ver my w
ife
As
I carefully got my tools r
eady
What a terrible shame should he e
ver break d
own
With
me on his trail and so far from t
own
If his brakes were to fail, if he b
lew out a t
ire
And
I stared in the ashes and f
ire
Instrumental
Outro
Now John St. Paul is a w
ell-known
man
Of
wealth in his skyscraper
palace
He likes his old Cadillac
prepped for long
drives
I d
on't like how he looks at my A
lice
I d
on't like how he looks at my A
lice
