The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to goI'm backing a winner
And I'm not afraid of taking a chance
There's no chance, I've got an inside tipYou may say I'm a sinner
I've waited too long to get in the game
Just the same, I'll take the chanceThere's no way
That I'm going to let go
I've been reaching long enough
Oh, to know what I want
It's not so hard to touch
It just looks that way
'Cause I want it so muchThat I can taste it
I'm not gonna waste a minute's more time
That's alright for some people
But I won't spend my life waiting in lineReaching out
For some shooting star
We keep hearing that it's right where we are
All I want
And all that I can find
Is the strength I need
To keep up with my mind
Oh, the race is onThe race is on (the race is on)
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to goDon't just give me my winnings
You save them up for somebody else
'Cause I'm in a hurry
I can't take time to make it make senseThe race is on (the race is on)
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to goThe race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go (the race is on)
The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go (oh, oh)The race is on
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on (oh, the race is on)
The race is on and I don't want to go (yeah)The race is on
