Del Reeves Race Is On
Songwriters: Rollins, Don;Well, 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
And you might say that I was takin' it hard
Since 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
Now the race is on
And here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are goin' to the inside my tears
Are holding back a tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the runnin' true love
Scratched for another's sake
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 lived in fear of waking up each morning
And findin' that you're gone from me
The ache and pain in my heart for today
Was the one that 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 holding back a tryin' not to fall
