It's Five OClock Somewhere Lyrics

Alan Jackson:
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow
And so am I
Workday passes like molasses in wintertime
But it's July
Gettin' paid by the hour, and older by the minute
My boss just pushed me over the limit
I'd like to call him somethin'
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
Half the night
Tomorrow mornin', 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

And 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
At a moment like this
I can't help but wonder:
What would Jimmy Buffett do?

Jimmy Buffett
Funny you should ask, Alan
Jimmy Buffett:
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"

Both:
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
Alan Jackson
He don't care
Both:
I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere

Buffett: What time zone am I on? What country am I in?
Jackson: It doesn't matter, it's five o'clock somewhere
Buffett: It's always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it
Jackson: I heard that
Buffett: You've been there haven't you?
Jackson: Yes, sir
Buffett: I've seen your boat there
Jackson: I've been to Margaritaville a few times
Buffett: Alright, well that's good
Jackson: Stumbled my way back
Buffett: Okay, we just want to make sure you can keep it between the navigational beacons
Jackson: Between the buoys, I got it
Buffett: Alright, well it's five o'clock; let's go somewhere
Jackson: I'm ready; crank it up
Buffett: Let's get out of here
Jackson: I'm gone
