Henry Smith - It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere lyrics

rate me

The sun is hot and that ol' clock is movin' slow and so am I<br />

Workday passes like molasses in wintertime but it's July<br />

Gettin' paid by the hour, older by the minute<br />

My boss just pushed me over the limit<br />

I'd like to call him somethin' but think I'll just call it a day<br />

<br />

And pour me somethin' tall and strong<br />

Make it a hurricane before I go insane<br />

It's only half past twelve, but I don't care<br />

It's 5 O'clock somewhere<br />

<br />

This lunch break is gonna take all afternoon and half the night<br />

Tomorrow morning I know there'll be here to pay, hey, but that's all right<br />

I ain't had a day off now in over a year<br />

My Jamaican vacation is gonna start right here<br />

If the phone's for me you can tell 'em I've just sailed away<br />

<br />

And pour me somethin' tall and strong<br />

Make it a hurricane before I go insane<br />

It's only half past 12, but I don't care<br />

It's 5 O'clock somewhere<br />

<br />

I could pay off my tip<br />

Pour myself in a cab and be back to work before 2<br />

At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder<br />

What would Jimmy Buffett do?<br />

<br />

I say, pour me somethin' tall and strong<br />

Make it a hurricane before I go insane<br />

It's only half past twelve, but I don't care<br />

<br />

Pour me somethin' tall and strong<br />

Make it a hurricane before I go insane<br />

It's only half past twelve, but I don't care<br />

He don't care and I don't care, it's 5 O'clock somewhere
