C I hear the clock a tickin, S G ee the sweat upon my brow,
C I know my destination, n G othing's gonna stop me now,
C I'm running on desire, b G aby I've got nerves of steel,
C Coming down to the wire, G Lord above me guide the wheel,
(chorus)
G Keep me F in your praye C rs tonight,
G I'll be weary F upon that r C oad,
I G know the F finish C line's in sight
But I G still h F ave a ways to C go, G C G
(verse 2)
C There's a junkyard dog a barkin, i G n the valley down below,
C He's wanting me to stop and, G gather up a heavy load,
C Ain't gonna heed his call, a G in't givin him the time of day,
C You mangy mutt once and for all, G I said I threw that stuff away,
(chorus)
G Keep me F in your praye C rs tonight,
G I'll be weary F upon that r C oad,
I G know the F finish C line's in sight,
But I G still h F ave a ways to C go, G C G
A# I won't have a C bit of trouble,
A# Heading down the C straight and true,
A# I'll fly solo C on the double,
D# Into the F yonder C blue, G C G
(verse 3)
C I might need some intervention, G Out upon the icy turn
C In a foggy situation, S G quealin on a hairpin curve,
C I'm running on desire, G Baby I've got nerves of steel,
C Coming down to the wire, G Lord above me guide the wheel,
(chorus)
G Keep me F in your C prayers tonight,
G I'll be weary F upon that r C oad,
I G know the F finish C line's in sight,
But I G still h F ave a ways,
G Keep me F in your C prayers tonight,
G I'll be weary F upon that r C oad,
I G know the F finish C line's in sight,
But I G still h F ave a ways to C go, G C G
Got a C ways to G go C G got a C ways to G go, C
