A Ways to Go Songtext
von Emmylou Harris

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 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 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 upon 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'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 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

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
Got a ways to go
