The Race Is On

And the winner looses all

But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow

Finding that you're gone from me

For today was the one that I hated to face
My hearts out of the runnin'
And here comes pride in the backstretch
My hearts out of the runnin'
My hearts out of the runnin'
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fall
That I may never shake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
Heartaches goin' to the inside

And the winner loses all
Heartaches goin' to the inside

True love's scratched for another's sake
And here comes pride in the backstretch
Heartaches goin' to the inside
And I came out in second place
Now the race is on
Somebody new came up to win her
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And how I lived in fear of waking up each morning
And here comes pride in the backstretch
Since you wrote me off with a call
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fall
My tears are holdin' back they're tryin' not to fall

Never once suspectin' what the final result would be
One day I ventured in love
Now you might say that I was taking it hard
Now the race is on
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
Now the race is on
There's ache and pain in my heart
True love's scratched for another's sake
True love's scratched for another's sake

When I may lay right down and bawl
And the winner loses all
