(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...
