[00:02.40] I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside
[00:06.38] Like my heart's sprung a big break
[00:08.26] And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
[00:11.13] That I may never shake.
[00:14.31] You might say I was taking it hard
[00:16.61] Oh, she wrote me off with a call
[00:19.29] But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
[00:21.97] When I may break right down and bawl.
[00:25.86] Well, the race is on
[00:27.29] And here comes pride up the backstretch
[00:29.42] Heartaches a-going to the inside
[00:32.70] My tears are holding back
[00:35.35] And tryin' not to fall
[00:38.18] My heart's out of the running
[00:40.24] True love's scratched for another's sake
[00:42.98] The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[00:46.12] And the winner loses all.
[00:47.61] One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin'
[01:17.41] What the final results would be
[01:19.99] How I lived in fear of waking up each mornin'
[01:22.81] And finding that you're gone from me
[01:25.64] There's aches and pain in my heart
[01:27.71] For today was the one that I hated to face
[01:30.97] Somebody new came up to win her
[01:33.72] I wound up in second place.
[01:37.34] Well, the race is on and here comes pride
[01:40.89] Up the backstretch
[01:41.89] Heartaches a-going to the inside
[01:44.20] My tears are holding back
[01:46.96] And tryin' not to fall
[01:49.78] My heart's out of the running
[01:51.86] True love's scratched for another's sake
[01:54.68] The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[01:57.85] And the winner loses all...
