The Race Is On(Live at County Fairgrounds, Des Moines, IA, 6/16/74) - Grateful Dead

作词：Don Rollins

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 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 tryin' 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 tryin' 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

The race is on and it

looks like heartaches

And the winner loses all
