Georgia Satellites - The Race is On lyrics

rate me

[nc] I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside

Like my [d] heart's sprung a big [a] break

And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful

[e] that I may never shake

You might [a] say that I was taking it hard

Ohshe [d] wrote me off with a [a] call

But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow

When I may [e] break right down and [a] bawl?

[nc] wellthe race is [a] on and here comes pride up the backstretch

[d] heartaches are going to the in-[a] side

My tears are holding back

They're tryin' [e] not to fall

[a] my heart's out of the running

True love's [d] scratched for another's [a] sake

The race is on and it looks like heartaches

And the [e] winner loses [a] all.

One day I ventured in lovenever once suspectin'

What the final result would be

How I lived in fear of waking up each morning

And thinkin' 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 came out in second place.
