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
Now you might say that I was takin' it hard that he 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 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

[ guitar - steel ]

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
Cause there's ache and pain in my heart for today was 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...
