[00:04.95]I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside
[00:07.77]like my heart's sprung a big break
[00:10.44]and a stab of lonliness sharp and painful
[00:13.17]that I may never shake
[00:16.11]You might say that I was taking it hard
[00:18.39]since you wrote me off with a call
[00:20.88]But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow
[00:23.43]when I may lay right down and bawl
[00:25.92]Chorus
[00:27.00]Now the race is on
[00:28.53]and here comes pride in the backstretch
[00:30.81]Heartaches goin' to the inside
[00:33.51]My tears are holdin' back
[00:36.33]They're tryin' not to fall
[00:38.64]My hearts out of the runnin'
[00:40.74]True love's scratched for another's sake
[00:43.26]The race is on and it looks like heartache,
[00:46.44]and the winner loses all
[00:48.39]One day I ventured in love
[01:14.46]never once suspectin' what the final result would be
[01:18.36]and how I lived in fear of waking up each morning
[01:21.15]finding that you're gone from me
[01:23.94]There's ache and pain in my heart
[01:25.65]for today was the one that I hated to face
[01:28.86]Somebody new came up to win her
[01:31.71]and I came out in second place
[01:39.09]Chorus
[02:20.34]Now the race is on
[02:21.93]and here comes pride in the backstretch
[02:24.24]Heartaches goin' to the inside
[02:27.09]My tears are holdin' back
[02:29.70]They're tryin' not to fall
[02:32.01]My hearts out of the runnin'
[02:34.11]True love's scratched for another's sake
[02:36.72]The race is on and it looks like heartache,
[02:39.84]and the winner loses all

I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside
like my heart's sprung a big break
and a stab of lonliness 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 hearts out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartache,
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 to win her
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 hearts out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartache,
and the winner loses all
