Lyrics: Race Is On

Well 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

Now you might say that I was takin' it hard
That he wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the runnin' true love 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
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And findin' that you're gone from me

Cause there's ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win him
And I came out in second place

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the runnin' true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all
