Текст песни The Race Is On (George Jones) с переводом

I feel tears wellin' up from deep inside

Like my heart’s gonna 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 gave me the final goodbye

But don’t you wager that I’ll hide the sorrow

I may break right down and cry.

Now the race is on And here comes pride up the backstretch

Heartaches are going to the inside

My tears are holding back, they’re tryin' not to fall

My heart’s out of running true love scratched for another’s sake

The race is on and it looks like heartache

And the winner loses all

--- Instrumental ---

One day I ventured in love

Never once suspectin' what the final result would be 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 the name of the one that I’ll never replace

Somebody new came up to win him

I came out in second place.

Now the race is on And here comes pride up the backstretch

Heartaches are going to the inside

My tears are holding back, they’re tryin' not to fall

My heart’s out of running true love scratched for another’s sake

The race is on and it looks like heartache

And the winner loses all…
