A Ways To Go Lyrics

(Lainie Marsh)

I hear the clock a tickin` 
See the sweat upon my brow 
I know my destination 
Nothing`s gonna stop me now 
I`m running on desire 
Baby I`ve got nerves of steel 
Coming down to the wire 
Lord above me guide the wheel 

Keep me in your prayers tonight 
I`ll be weary upon that road 
I know the finish line`s in sight 
But I still have a ways to go 

There`s a junkyard dog a barkin` 
In the valley down below 
He`s wanting me to stop and 
Gather up a heavy load 
Ain`t gonna heed his call 
Ain`t givin` him the time of day 
You mangy mutt once and for all 
I said I threw that stuff away 

I won`t have a bit of trouble 
Heading down the straight and true 
I`ll fly solo on the double 
Into the yonder  blue 

I might need some intervention 
Out upon the icy turn 
In a foggy situation 
Squealin` on a hairpin curve 

I`m running on desire 
Baby I`ve got nerves of steel 
Coming down to the wire 
Lord above me guide the wheel 

Keep me in your prayers tonight 
I`ll be weary upon that road 
I know the finish line`s in sight 
But I still have a ways to go 
Keep me in your prayers tonight 
I`ll be weary upon that road 
I know the finish line`s in sight 
But I still have a ways to go 
Got a ways to go, got a ways to go
