5 O'Clock Somewhere

The sun is hot, and that 'ol clock is movin slow
and so am I
The work day passes like molasses in winter time
but its july
I'm gettin paid by the hour and older by the minute
my boss just pushed me over the limit
like to call her somethin, i think i'll just call it a day
Poour me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane before I go insane,
its only half past 12 and i dont care.
its 5 o'clock somewhere.

This lunch break is going to take all afternoon and half the night
tomorrow morning i know there'll be hell to pay but thats alright
I ain't have a day off now in over a year, my Jamaican vacation gonna start right here
if the phone's for me you can tell 'em I just sailed away...
Poour me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane before I go insane,
its only half past 12 and i dont care.
its 5 o'clock somewhere.

I could pay off my tab and throw myself in a cab and be back to work before 2
At a moment like this I can't help but wonder uh what would Jimmy Buffet do?
He'd say: "Poour me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane before I go insane,
its only half past 12 and i dont care.
Poour me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane before I go insane,
its only half past 12 and i dont care.no I don't care,
its 5 o'clock somewhere.
