Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffett - It's Five O'clock Somewhere lyrics

rate me

That sun is hot and that old clock is moving slow

And so am I

The workday passes like molasses in the wintertime

But it's July

I'm getting paid by the hour and older by the minute

My boss just pushed me over the limit

I'd like to call him something,

I think I'll just call it a day

Pour me something tall and strong

Make it a hurricane before I go insane

It's only half past twelve but I don't care

It's five o'clock somewhere

Well this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon

And half the night

Tomorrow morning I know there'll be hell to pay

Hey, but that's alright

I ain't had a day off now in over a year

My Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here

If the phone's for me you can tell 'em

I just sailed away

Pour me something tall and strong

Make it a hurricane before I go insane

It's only half past twelve but I don't care

It's five o'clock somewhere

(Bridge:)

I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab

And be back to work before two

But at a moment like this I can't help but wonder

What would Jimmy Buffett do

He'd say

Pour me something tall and strong

Make it a hurricane before I go insane

It's only half past twelve but I don't care

It's five o'clock somewhere
