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 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 opon that road
i know the finish line’s in sight
but i still have 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 opon 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 fly solo on the double
into the yonder blue.
i might need some intervention
out upon the icy turn
in a foggy situation
squeallin’ 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 opon that road
i know the finish line’s in sight
but i still have ways to go.
got a ways to go.
got a ways to go.
got a ways to go…
