Hope had filled the sky at nighttime
Diamond in the ring
Don't feed your mind
Maybe I had never pictured bad times
Brother in the drugstore falls behind
He's got knuckles that no longer fit my eyes
Knuckles that a prizefighter can't buy
I got the world, so I'll be fine
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard
But it's got to be done
Tommy left for war with no goodbye
I never got a chance to ask him why
But since Tommy always was a tough guy
I know it's 'cause he thought I'd see him cry
He had knuckles that could make the devil shy
Knuckles of a prizefighter held high
I got the world, so I'll be fine
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard
But it's got to be done
I got a war that I can't fight
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard
But it's got to be done
I got the world, so I'll be fine
I got the sunshine to figure me out
I'm back to work, that's over
Now all I want is fun
Yeah, my work ain't hard
But it's got to be done
