5:01 Blues Lyrics - Singles - Merle Haggard

I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over 

Time to go home but no one to go home to 

That whistle just blew bad news 

I punch out and put in 

Another long night again, missin' you 

I got these 5:01 blues 

I used to watch that old clock on the wall 

Wishin' I could make time fly 

But ever since you walked out on me 

Quittin' time just make me want to cry 

I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over 

Time to go home but no one to go home to 

That whistle just blew bad news 

I punch out and put in 

Another long night again, lovin' you 

I got these 5:01 blues 

I could go out and find somebody new 

I'd only spoil her fun 

My mind still says that it's time to love you 

When the clock says the workday is done 

I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over 

Time to go home but no one to go home to 

That whistle just blew bad news 

I punch out and put in 

Another long night again, missin' you 

I got these 5:01 blues 

I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over 

Time to go home but no one to go home to 

That whistle just blew bad news 

I punch out and put in 

Another long night again, missin' you 

I got these 5:01 blues 

(Spoken): 

Oh man, I got no place to go 

No one to go to
