I feel tears welling up from down deep inside,like my hearts got a big break

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the back stretch,
C G A D
Heartaches a goin to the inside, My tears are holding back, tryin not to fall.

My hearts our of the running, true love scratched for another's sake,
G D G C-G
The race is on and it looks like heartaches, and the winner loses all.
