A Ways to Go

(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...
