The Race Is On |
| Well, I feel tears wellin' up |
| Goin' 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 |
| Since you wrote me off with a call |
| And 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 back stretch |
| 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 results would be |
| How I lived in fear of waking up each morning |
| And findin' that you’re gone from me |
| There’s achin' and pain in my heart |
| For today is 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 back stretch |
| 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 |
