Harris Emmylou - 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'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
