Emmylou Harris - 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
