Cold air in the morning
Feet already sore
Gun goes at the starting line
You have one thing on your mind
Feet pounding and the crowd's so loud
You stumble trying to make your ground
Find your pace make space with haste
Oh I pray you hear me now
Take me away oh
Won't you take me away
Take me away now
Goddess of the road
I worshipped you
Won't you lighten my load
I sweat it out and
I let you in
Will you forgive
The person I've been
Now I'm flying
And my minds on my side
And my strides in time
To the beat that's in my mind
And the pain in my legs
Well it stays to the side
And I dig in the fire
But that finishing line
Still miles away
Won't you take me away
Take me away now
Goddess of the road
I worshipped you
Won't you lighten my load
I sweat it out and
I let you in
Will you forgive
The asshole I've been
Oh great despair
I've come so far but I'm still not there
My heart and my head
Debate each step ahead
Like thick fog as I'm breathing in air
But then a sight that could make me cry
One km to that finishing line
There's crowds friendly cheers and horns
Won't you please take me once more
Take me away now
Goddess of the road
I worshipped you
Won't you lighten my load
I sweat it out and
I let you in
Will you forgive
The jerk that I've been
