[00:00.00]The Race is On (Live at Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, 6/4/1970) - New Riders Of The Purple Sage
[00:00.43]I feel tears welling up cold and deep inside
[00:03.33]Like my heart's got a big break
[00:06.09]And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
[00:08.85]That I may never shake
[00:11.49]You might think that I'm taking it hard
[00:13.86]Since she broke me off with a call
[00:16.52]Remind wager that I'll hide the sorrow
[00:19.20]When of my break right down and bawl
[00:22.70]Now the race is on and here
[00:24.86]Comes pride up the back stretch
[00:26.94]Heartaches are going to the inside
[00:29.53]My tears are holding back trying not to fall
[00:34.68]My heart's out of the running
[00:37.08]True love's scratched for another's sake
[00:39.70]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[00:42.55]And the winner loses all
[01:10.54]One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
[01:14.32]What the final result would be
[01:16.85]Now I live in fear of waking up each morning
[01:19.81]And finding that you're gone from me
[01:22.62]There's an aching pain in my heart for the name
[01:25.41]Of the one that I hated to face
[01:27.89]Someone else came out to win her
[01:30.72]And I came out in second place
[01:34.53]Now the race is on and here
[01:36.78]Comes pride up the back stretch
[01:38.74]Heartaches are going to the inside
[01:41.57]My tears are holding back trying not to fall
[01:47.13]My heart's out of the running
[01:49.31]True love's scratched for another's sake
[01:52.04]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[01:55.07]And the winner loses all
[02:23.32]Now the race is on and here
[02:25.42]Comes pride up the back stretch
[02:27.63]Heartaches are going to the inside
[02:30.57]My tears are holding back trying not to fall
[02:36.01]My heart's out of the running
[02:38.50]True love's scratched for another's sake
[02:41.27]The race is on and it looks like heartaches
[02:44.49]And the winner loses all
