Race Is On Lyrics - Del Reeves

Well, I feel tears wellin' up cold 

And deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break 

And a stab of loneliness sharp 

And painful that I may never shake 

And you might say that I was takin' it hard 

Since she wrote me off with a call 

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

When I may break right down and bawl 

Now the race is on 

And here comes pride up the backstretch 

Heartaches are goin' to the inside my tears 

Are holding back a tryin' not to fall 

My heart's out of the runnin' true love 

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 waking up each morning 

And findin' that you're gone from me 

The 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 

Now the race is on 

And here comes pride up the backstretch 

Heartaches are goin' to the inside my tears 

Are holding back a tryin' not to fall
