It's Five O'Clock Somewhere

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

I'm 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 somethin' 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 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

Our Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here

Hit the phones for me, you can tell 'em I just sailed away

And pour me somethin' 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?

Funny you should ask, Alan

I'd say, "Pour me somethin' tall and strong

Make it a Hurricane before I go insane

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

Pour me somethin' 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 doesn'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 on my way back

Okay, just wanna 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, crank it up

Let's get outta here

I'm gone
