The Race Is On Lyrics - Sawyer Brown

I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside 

Like my heart's sprung a big break 

And a 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 in sorrow 

When I may lay right down and bawl 

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 heartaches 

And the winner looses 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 

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 heartaches 

And the winner loses all 

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 heartaches 

And the winner loses all 

The winner loses all
