The Race Is On — текст песни (Grateful Dead)

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 our 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.
