Race Is On Lyrics - Jody Miller

I feel tears wellin' up from deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break 

And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake 

You might say that I was taking it hard since she gave me the final doodbye 

But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow when I may break right down and cry 

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

Heartache is going to the inside 

My tears are holding back they're 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 

[ sax ] 

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 

Cause there's ache and pain in my heart for today was the one that I hated to face 

Somebody new came up to win him and I came out in second place 

Now the race is on...
