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

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



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
