Sides face grand square
I feel tears wellin' up, cold and deep inside
Like my heart's gotta big break
And a stab of loneliness, sharp and painful
That I may never shake
4 ladies promenade once inside the ring
Swing your man and promenade the hall
But don't you wager that I'll hide in sorrow
When I may lay right down and bawl

Now the head (side) 2 couples promenade, travel halfway around the ring
Sides (heads) do a right & left thru
Square thru 4 hands around the ring you know
Dosado and do an eight chain 4
My Heart's out of the running
Swing your corner and you promenade
The race is on and it looks like Heartache
And the winner loses all

Sides face grand square
One day I ventured in love, never once suspectin'
What the final results would be
Now I live in fear each mornin'
Findin' that you're gone from me
4 ladies promenade once inside the ring
Swing your man and promenade the hall
Somebody New came up the winner
And I came out in second place

Sides face grand square
Now the race is on and here comes Pride up the backstretch
Heartache's moving to the inside
My tears are holding back
An' they're tryin' not to fall
4 ladies promenade once inside the ring
Swing your man and promenade the hall
The race is on and it looks like Heartache
And the winner loses all
