A Ways To Go Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(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...
