ALAN JACKSON - It's Five O'Clock Somewhere - (with Jimmy Buffett) lyrics

rate me

That sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow

and so am I

The workday passes like molasses in 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 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 phones for me you can tell them

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

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?

"""enter Jimmy Buffett"""

"Funny you should ask Alan"

"I'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"

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 (he don't care)

and I don't care

It's Five O'Clock somewhere

"What time zone am I on?"

"What Country am I in?"

It don't matter it's Five O'Clock somewhere

"It's always on Five in Margaritaville come to think of it"

I heard that

"You've been there haven't you?"

Yes sir

"I've seen your boat there"

I've been to Margaritaville a few times

"Alright well that's good"

stumbled my way back

"OK we just want to make sure you can keep it

between the navigational beacons"

between the buoys, I got it

"alright, well it's five o'clock let's go somewhere"

I'm ready to crank it up

"lets get out of here"

I'm gone
