The Race Is On

The Race Is On - Faron Young

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside

Like my heart's sprung a big break

And the stab of loneliness sharp painful that

I may never shake

Might say I was taking it hard

She wrote me off with a call

I don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow

When I may break right down bawl

Well the race is on

And here comes pride up the backstretch

Heartaches a going to the inside

My tears are holding back

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 waking up each mornin'

Finding you're gone from me

There's aches and pain in my heart

For today was the one that I hated to face

Somebody new came up to win her

I wound up in second place

Well the race is on and here comes pride

Up the backstretch

Heartaches a going to the inside

My tears are holding back

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
