The alarm went off, but I wasn't asleep After tossing and turning, oh man, what a relief Just to go to work Get up and go to work So I get out on the highway and I head into town That's one part of my life I didn't let you tear down Baby, that's my work Right now I'm goin' to work 'Cause when that whistle blows, I'll be there Life goes on, even when it's not fair Who's got time to hurt? Right now, I'm goin' to work Now I remember what it is I used to 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 9 to 5, I'll take a break From an empty bed and a heart that aches Oh, I'm good at my work Yeah, I'm good at my work 'Cause when that whistle blows, I'll be there
Life goes on, even when it's not fair Who's got time to hurt? 'Cause right now, I got to go work Oh, I gotta stay busy, that's the only way Throw myself into my work and collect my pay Watch me keep it together while I fall apart The world won't stop for my broken heart No, no, no, no 'Cause when that whistle blows, I'll be there Life goes on, even when it's not fair Who's got time to hurt? Right now, I got to go to work Hot Country 98WSIX F.M. with Hoss Burns 7:15 in the morning and the traffic is really piling up Around Old Hickory Boulevard at I-24 In fact, it's piled up so high, it's painful! But who's got time to hurt? Gotta get up and go to work!
