Goin' To Work

(album: Ain't Gonna Cry - 1989)

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 going 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 going 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!
