B
I hear the clock a tickin
F#
See the sweat upon my brow
B
I know my destination
F#
Nothing's gonna stop me now
B
I'm running on desire
F#
Baby I've got nerves of steel
B
Coming down to the wire
F#
Lord above me guide the wheel
F#      E            B
Keep me in your prayers tonight
F#            E          B
I'll be weary upon that road
  F#       E      B
I know the finish line's in sight
      F#     E             B  F#   B  F#
But I still have a ways to go
B
There's a junkyard dog a barkin
F#
In the valley down below
B
He's wanting me to stop and
F#
Gather up a heavy load
B
Ain't gonna heed his call
F#
Ain't givin him the time of day
B
You mangy mutt once and for all
F#
I said I threw that stuff away
F#      E            B
Keep me in your prayers tonight
F#            E          B
I'll be weary upon that road
  F#       E      B
I know the finish line's in sight
      F#     E             B  F#   B  F#
But I still have a ways to go
A              B
I won't have a bit of trouble
A                B
Heading down the straight and true
A             B
I'll fly solo on the double
D        E        B    F#   B  F#
Into the yonder   blue
B
I might need some intervention
F#
Out upon the icy turn
B
In a foggy situation
F#
Squealin on a hairpin curve
B
I'm running on desire
F#
Baby I've got nerves of steel
B
Coming down to the wire
F#
Lord above me guide the wheel
F#      E       B
Keep me in your prayers tonight
F#            E          B
I'll be weary upon that road
  F#       E      B
I know the finish line's in sight
      F#     E
But I still have a ways
F#      E       B
Keep me in your prayers tonight
F#            E          B
I'll be weary upon that road
  F#       E      B
I know the finish line's in sight
      F#     E             B  F#   B  F#
But I still have a ways to go
      B       F#  B F#       B       F#    B
Got a ways to go       got a ways to go
