-- Original, human-written lyrics -- [Verse 1] Some days it just feels like everything's going my way, I've got that house I've always wanted and that family, a job that pays the bills, in the bank just enough money, and a decent car that gets me from A to B... [Verse 2] But then something big hits, the other shoe drops, life turns upside-down and that dream of mine flops, I knew it couldn't last forever, too good to be true, now life's got me bummed-out, feeling so blue (what do I do?) [Chorus] I hit the gym! I hit the gym! (hey, hey) I hit the gym! (hey, hey) I'm not doing it to get slim. I lift things up and put them down, dumbbells, kettlebells, I go to town! When I feel the burn in my arms I know I'm doing it right, never gonna lose this fight! [Verse 3] Some folks would rather get up and go to the bar, have one too many, grab their keys and get into their car, some folks enjoy a little too much of that green, getting lit 'til it's like looking through a smokescreen... (but those things ain't for me) [Chorus] I work it out! (hey, hey) I work it out! (hey, hey) this is the better way, no doubt. every pound I lift off the ground the closer to heaven I can be found, I wouldn't do it any other way, barbells and protein shakes, point of failure 'til it breaks! [Verse 4] Nothing wrong with getting a little bit of therapy, talking things through probably brings some clarity, hiking, driving, singing, dancing - everyone's got a thing, but for me there's really only one way to heal that sting. [Final Chorus] I hit the gym! I hit the gym! (hey, hey) I hit the gym! (hey, hey) I'm not doing it to get slim. I lift things up and put them down, dumbbells, kettlebells, I go to town! I work it out! (hey, hey) I work it out! (hey, hey) this is the better way, no doubt. every pound I lift off the ground the closer to heaven I can be found, When I feel the burn in my arms I know I'm doing it right, never gonna lose this fight! I wouldn't do it any other way, barbells and protein shakes, point of failure 'til it breaks! I hit the gym! I work it out! Yeah, I work it out. I work it out! (I work it out)
