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 head into town There's 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 (chorus) Yeah when the whistle blows, i'll be there Life goes on even when it's not fair So 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 (repeat chorus) 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 (repeat chorus) Watch me i'm goin' to work Oh yeah you know i'm good at my work Right now i'm goin' to work
