I feel tears wellin' up, colin' deep inside Like my heart's from a big break And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful That I may never shake You might say I was takin' it harder When she wrote me off of the call But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and fall Well, the race is on and here comes pride at the backstretch Heartaches are goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back, they're tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the runnin', through the stretch For nothin' to say 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 results would be I lived in fear, wakin' up each mornin' Findin' that you'd gone from me There's achin' pain in my heart for the day Was the one I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her I wound up in second place Well, the race is on and here comes pride at the backstretch Heartaches are goin' to the inside My tears are holdin' back, they're tryin' not to fall My heart's out of the runnin', through the stretch For nothin' to say The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all
