(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
|
