The Race Is On lyrics

I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,
Like my hearts got a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake.

You might think that Im taking it hard since you broke me off with a call,
You might wager that Ill 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.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/grateful_dead/the_race_is_on.html ]
My hearts our of the running, true love scratched for anothers 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 youre gone from me.

Theres 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.
