Race Is On

(Don Rollins)



I feel tears wellin' up goin' deep inside

Like my heart's sprung a break

And a stab of loneliness so sharp and painful

That I might ever shake.



You might think I'm a takin' it hard

Oh, she wrote me off with a call

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

I may break right down and bawl.



Well, the race is on

And here comes pride

Up the backstretch

Heartaches are going to the inside.



My tears are holding back tryin' not to fall

My heart's out of the running

True love scratched for another's sake

The race is on and it looks like heartaches

And the winner loses all.



--- Instrumental ---



One day I ventured in love

Never once suspectin' what the final result would be

I lived in fear of waking up each morning

And findin' that you're gone from me.



Achin' and pain in my heart for today

Was the one that I hated to face

Somebody new came up to win her

I came out in second place.



Well the race is on and it looks like heartaches

And the winner loses all...
