The Race Is On

I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside Like my heart's sprung a big break And a stab of loneliness, sharp and painful That I may never shake But you might say that I was takin' it hard Since you wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow When I may lay right down and bawl Now the race is on And here comes pride in the backstretch Heartaches goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back there and I'm tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day I ventured in love Never once suspecting what the final result would be And how I lived in fear of wakin' up each mornin' Findin' that you're gone from me There's ache and pain in my heart for today Was the one I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I came out in second place Now the race is on And here comes pride in the backstretch Heartaches goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back there and I'm tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all Now the race is on And here comes pride in the backstretch Heartaches are goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back there I'm tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the runnin' True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartache And the winner loses all The winner loses all
