The Race Is On Songtext
I feel tears wellin' up, cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake
But you might say that I was taking it hard
Since she wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I may lay right down and bawl

Now, the race is on and here comes pride in the back stretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back there and
I'm tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the running
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 results would be
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 wed her
And I came out in second place

So now the race is on and here comes pride in the back stretch
Heartaches are going to the inside
My tears are holding back there and
I'm tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
