[Verse 1]Hope had filled the sky at nighttimeDiamond in the ringDon't feed your mindMaybe I had never pictured bad timesBrother in the drugstore falls behindHe's got knuckles that no longer fit my eyesKnuckles that a prizefighter can't buy[Chorus]I got the world, so I'll be fineI got the sunshine to figure me outI'm back to work, that's overNow all I want is funYeah, my work ain't hardBut it's got to be done[Verse 2]Tommy left for war with no goodbyeI never got a chance to ask him whyBut since Tommy always was a tough guyI know it's 'cause he thought I'd see him cryHe had knuckles that could make the devil shyKnuckles of a prizefighter held high[Chorus]I got the world, so I'll be fineI got the sunshine to figure me outI'm back to work, that's overNow all I want is funYeah, my work ain't hardBut it's got to be done[Breakdown]I got a war that I can't fightI got the sunshine to figure me outI'm back to work, that's overNow all I want is funYeah, my work ain't hardBut it's got to be done[Chorus]I got the world, so I'll be fineI got the sunshine to figure me outI'm back to work, that's overNow all I want is funYeah, my work ain't hardBut it's got to be done
