It's Five O' Clock Somewhere Lyrics - Greatest Hits Volume Ii - 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 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 

Half the night 

Tomorrow morning 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 them 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 by two 

At a moment like this 

I can't help but wonder: 

What would Jimmy Buffett do?

[(Jimmy Buffett enters)] 

"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 

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) 

If 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, crank it up 

"Lets get out of here" 

I'm gone
