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,
(chorus)
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,
(verse 2)
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,
(chorus)
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,
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,
(verse 3)
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,
(chorus)
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,
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,
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,
(chorus)
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,
(verse 2)
