[Verse 1]
I hear the clock a-ticking
See the sweat upon my brow
I know my destination
Nothing's going to 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-barking
In the valley down below
He's wanting me to stop
And gather up a heavy load
Ain't going to 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
[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

[Bridge]
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
Squealing 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 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
