The Race Is On lyrics
Song information
Artist: Grateful Dead Album: Reckoning
Lyrics
I feel tears welling up from down deep inside Like my heart's got a big break And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake
You might think that I'm taking it hard since you broke me off with a call You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow and I might lay right down and bawl
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch Heartaches a goin' to the inside, my tears are holding back, tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the running, 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 suspecting What the final result would be Now I live in fear of waking up each morning And finding that you're gone from me
There's an aching pain in my heart for the name of the one that I hated to face Someone else came out to win her, and I came out in second place
