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 sorrow
|
when I may lay right down and bawl
|
|
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Now the race is on
|
and here comes pride in the backstretch
|
Heartaches 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
|
and the winner loses 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 the winner
|
and I came out in second place
|
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Now the race is on
|
and here comes pride in the backstretch
|
Heartaches 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
|
and the winner loses all
|
