THE RACE IS ON
George Jones

I feel tears wellin' up from deep inside,
Like my heart's gonna break.
And the staff of loneliness sharp and painful,
That I may never shake.
Well, you might say I was takin' it hard,
Since you gave me the final good-bye,
But don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow,
When I may break right down and cry.

CHORUS:
Well, the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch,
Heartache's goin' to the inside.
My tears are holding back,
They're trying not to fall.
My heart's out of the runnin',
True love's scratched for another's sake.
Well, 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'd live to fear of wakin' up each mornin',
And findin' you were gone from me.
This ache and a pain in my heart for the name,
Of the one that I'll never replace.
Somebody new came up to win her,
And I came out in second place.

(CHORUS)
