WELL, 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 HEARTS OUT OF THE RUNNING, TRUE LOVE’S SCRATCHED FOR ANOTHERS SAKE THE RACE IS ON AND IT LOOKS LIKE HEARTACHES, AND THE WINNER LOSES ALL ONE DAY I VENTURED IN LOVE, NEVER ONCE SUSPECTIN, WHAT THE FINAL RESULT WOULD BE HOW I LIVED IN FEAR WAKING UP EACH MORNING, AND THINKING YOU WERE 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, I CAME OUT IN SECOND PLACE N.C.
