Julieta Venegas - Sueños lyrics

THE RACE IS ON

WITH GEORGE JONES

WRITER DON ROLLINS

I feel tears wellin' up cold deep inside

like my heart's sprung a big break

and a stab of loneliness sharp and painful

that I may never shake

You might say that I was taking it hard

since you wrote me off with a call

But don't you wager that I'll hide in sarrow

when I may lay right down and bawl

Chorus

Now the race is on

and here comes pride in the backstreatch

Heartaches goin' to the inside

My tears are holdin' back

They're tryin' not to fall

My hearts out of the runnin'

True love's scratched for another's sake

The race is on and it looks like heartaches

and the winner looses all

One day I ventured in love

never once suspectin' what the final result would be

and how I lived in fear of waking up each morning

finding that you're gone from me

There's ache and pain in my heart

for today was the one that I hated to face

Somebody new came up to win her

and I came out in second place

Chorus

Now the race is on

and here comes pride in the backstreatch

Heartaches goin' to the inside

My tears are holdin' back

They're tryin' not to fall

My hearts out of the runnin'

True love's scratched for another's sake

The race is on and it looks like heartaches

and the winner looses all
