Lord I feel tears
wellin' up going
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 takin' it hard
when she wrote me off
with a call
But don't you wager
that I'll hide
the sorrow
Lord I may break
right down and bawl
Now the race is on
and here comes pride
up the back stretch
heartaches are goin'
to the inside
My tears are
holdin' back
they're tryin'
not to fall
Yeah 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
How I lived in fear
of wakin' up
each mornin'
and thinkin' that
you're gone from me...
There's an ache
and a pain in my heart
for today the one
that I hate to face
Somebody new
came up to win her
I wound up
in second place
I said the race is on
and here comes pride
up the back stretch
heartaches are 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
Yeah the race is on
and it looks like
heartaches
and the winner
loses all....
