The Race Is On Lyrics

The Race Is On lyrics

I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside
like my heart's sprung a big
break
and a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
that I may never
shake

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 sarrow
when I may lay
right down and bawl



Chorus

Now the race is on
and here
comes pride in the backstreatch
Heartaches 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 looses 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 today was the one that I hated
to face
Somebody new came up to win her
and I came out in second
place


Chorus

Now the race is on
and here comes pride in
the backstreatch
Heartaches 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 looses all
