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
And you might say that I was takin' it hard since she 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 goin' to the inside my tears are holding 
back a 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

[ guitar ]

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
The 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

Now the race is on...
