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
