George Jones – The Race Is On

George Jones – The Race Is On Lyrics

Artist: George Jones
Song: The Race Is On

I feel tears wellin’ up
Cold and 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 takin’ it hard
Since you 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
Now the race is on
And here comes pride up 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’
True love’s scratched for another’s sake

The race is on and it looks like heartache
And the winner loses all
One day I ventured in love
Never once suspectin’

What the final result would be
How I lived in fear of wakin’ up each mornin’
And findin’ that you’re gone from me
There’s ache and pain in my heart

For today was the one 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 up 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’
True love’s scratched for another’s sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
