The Race Is On

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break

And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake

Well, you might say that I was taking 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

Heartache's goin' to the inside

My tears are holdin' back, they're tryin' not to fall

My hearts 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 suspectin' what the final result would be

And how I lived in fear of waking up each morning, finding that you're gone from me

There's ache and pain in my heart, for the day was the one that 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

Heartache's goin' to the inside

My tears are holdin' back, they're tryin' not to fall

My hearts 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

Heartache's goin' to the inside

My tears are holdin' back, they're tryin' not to fall

My hearts 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

The winner loses all
