It's 5 O'clock Somewhere Lyrics - Alan Jackson

The 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 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 5 O'clock somewhere

This lunch break is gonna take all afternoon 

Half the night 

Tomorrow morning I know they'll be hell to pay 

Hey, but that's alright 

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

My Jamican vacation's gonna start right here 

If the phone's for me 

You can tell 'em I just sailed away 

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 5 O'clock somewhere 

I could pay off my tab 

Pour myself in a cab 

And be back to work before 2 

At a moment like this 

I can't help but wonder 

What would Jimmy Buffet do?

Funny you should ask that 

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 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 5 in margarittaville come to think of it 

I heard that 

You've been to there haven't ya? 

Yes sir 

I seen your boat there 

I've been to margarittaville a few times 

Alright, well that's good 

I'm on my way back 

Well alright, I just wanna make sure you can keep it between 

The navigational beacon 

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 

Let's get outta here
