Tommy Shaw - The Race Is On Lyrics

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 go

I'm backing the winner
And I'm not afraid of taking a chance
(There's no chance, I've got an inside tip)

You may say I'm a sinner
I've waited too long to get in the game
(Just the same, I'll take the chance)

There's no way
That I'm going to let go
I've been reaching long enough to know what I want
It's not so hard to touch
It just looks that way
Cause I want it so much

And I can taste it
And I'm not gonna waste a minutes more time
(That's all right for some people)
But I won't spend my life waiting in line

Reaching 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 on

The race is on (the race is on)
The race is on and I don't want to go
The race is on (mmhmm)
The race is on and I don't want to go

So just give me my winnings
You say that look for somebody else
Cause I'm in a hurry
I can't take time to make it make sense

The 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 go

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 go
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 go
