The Race Is On

I feel tears wellin' up Cold and deep inside Like my heart's sprung a big break cnd 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 But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and bawl Now the race is on cnd here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back They're 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 cnd 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 wakin' up each mornin' cnd 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 cnd I came out in second place Now the race is on cnd here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back They're 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 cnd the winner loses all
