The Race Is On - George Jones

[00:00.31]I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
[00:04.80]Like my heart's sprung a big break
[00:06.93]And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
[00:10.40]That I may never shake
[00:12.68]Now you might say that I was taking it hard
[00:15.30]Since you wrote me off with a call
[00:17.93]But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
[00:20.69]When I may break right down and bawl
[00:24.45]Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
[00:28.28]Heartaches are going to the inside
[00:31.40]My tears are holding back
[00:34.36]They're trying not to fall
[00:36.63]My heart's out of the running
[00:38.86]True love's scratched for another's sake
[00:41.52]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[00:44.90]And the winner loses all
[01:12.16]One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting
[01:15.93]What the final results would be
[01:18.66]How I lived in fear of waking up each morning
[01:21.49]And finding that you'd gone from me
[01:24.25]There's aching and pain in my heart
[01:26.37]For the day was the one that I hated to face
[01:29.40]Somebody new came up to win her
[01:32.90]And I came out in second place
[01:35.89]Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch
[01:40.30]Heartaches are going to the inside
[01:42.88]My tears are holding back
[01:45.66]They're trying not to fall
[01:48.13]My heart's out of the running
[01:50.97]True love's scratched for another's sake
[01:53.18]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[01:56.25]And the winner loses all
