The alarm went off but I wasn't asleep   After tossin' and turnin' all night what a relief   To go to work, get up and go to work      So I get onto the highway and I head into town   'Cause one part of my life I won't let you tear down   Yeah and that's my work, right now I'm goin' to work      When the whistle blows, I'll be there   Life goes on even when it's not fair   And who's got time to hurt, right now   I got to go to work      Now I remember what it is I do   For a while I thought my life was just loving you   But now it's back to work   Oh thank god for my work      So from nine to five I take a break   From an empty bed and a heart that aches   I'm good at my work   Oh I'm good at my work      When the whistle blows, I'll be there   Life goes on even when it's not fair   And who's got time to hurt, right now   I got to go to work      Oh I got to stay busy that's the only way   Throw myself into my business and collect my pay   Watch me keep it together while I fall apart   'Cause a world won't stop for a broken heart, oh no, no      When the whistle blows, I'll be there   Life goes on even when it's not fair   And who's got time to hurt, right now   I got to go to work      Watch me I'm goin' to work   Oh yeah you know I'm good at my work   Right now I'm goin' to work   Goin' to work, yeah
