Grateful Dead - The Race Is On(Live)

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 try

In' 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

Now the race is on

And here comes pride up the back stretch

Heartaches a goin' to the inside

My tears are holding back try

In' 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

Now the race is on

And here comes pride up the back stretch

Heartaches a goin' to the inside

My tears are holding back try

In' 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

And it looks like heartaches

And the winner loses all
