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 praye
rs tonight
I’ll be weary
upon that r
oad
I
know the
finish
line’s in sight
But I
still h
ave 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
Keep me
in your praye
rs tonight
I’ll be weary
upon that r
oad
I
know the
finish
line’s in sight
But I
still h
ave a ways to
go
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 r
oad
I
know the
finish
line’s in sight
But I
still h
ave a ways
Keep me
in your
prayers tonight
I’ll be weary
upon that r
oad
I
know the
finish
line’s in sight
But I
still h
ave a ways to
go
Got a
ways to
go
got a
ways to
go
