Race Is On, The Lyrics - George Jones

I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside 

Like my heart's sprung a big break 

And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful 

That I may never shake 

Now 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 the sorrow 

When I may break right down and bawl

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch 

Heartaches are going to the inside 

My tears are holding back 

They're trying not to fall 

My heart's out of the running 

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 had ventured in love, never once suspecting 

What the final results would be 

How I lived in fear of waking up each morning 

And finding that you'd gone from me 

There's aching and pain in my heart 

For the day 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 going to the inside 

My tears are holding back 

They're trying not to fall 

My heart's out of the running 

True love's scratched for another's sake 

The race is on and it looks like heartaches 

And the winner loses all
