Текст песни Race Is On, The

Written by Don Rollins

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
You might say I was taking it hard
Oh, she 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

Chorus:
Well, the race is on and here comes pride
Up the backstretch
Heartaches are a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back
And tryin' 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 heartache
And the winner loses all

Instrumental George Jones - Race Is On, The - http://ru.motolyrics.com/george-jones/race-is-on-the-lyrics.html

One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin'
What the final results would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each mornin'
And 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
I wound out in second place

Chorus:
Well, the race is on and here comes pride
Up the backstretch
Heartaches are a-going to the inside
My tears are holding back
And tryin' 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 heartache
And the winner loses all

The winner loses all...
