A Ways to Go

Lyrics

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 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 wantin' me to stop
 And gather up a heavy load
 Ain't gonna heed his call
 Ain't giving him the time of day
 You mangy mutt, once and for all
 I said I threw that stuff away
 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 ways to go
 ♪
 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 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
 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
 Got a ways to go
