The Race Is On - Live at Loreley, August 20th 1983

Lyrics

I feel tears wellin' up going deep inside
 Like my heart's gonna get broke
 And the stab of loneliness sharp and painful
 That I may never shake
 You might say that I was takin' it hard
 Since you broke me off with a call
 But don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow
 When i may break right down and bawl
 Now the race is on
 And here comes pride up the backstretch
 Heartaches going to the inside
 My tears are holding back
 They're trying not to fall
 My heart's out of the running
 True love's 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 suspecting
 What the final result would be
 Now I live in fear of waking up each morning
 Finding that she's gone from me
 There's aching pain in my heart
 For the name of the one
 That I had to replace
 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 going to the inside
 My tears are holding back
 They're trying not to fall
 My heart's out of the running
 True love's scratched for another's sake
 The race is on and it looks like heartaches
 And the winner loses all
