A Ways To Go — текст песни (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`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
