Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I better check my watch 'cause I believe it's about 5 o'clock somewhere
Isn't it, John?
[Verse 2]
The sun is hot and that old clock is moving slow
And so am I
The workday passes like molasses in wintertime
Hey, but it's July
Getting 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
[Verse 3]
So, 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 5 o'clock somewhere
[Verse 4]
Well, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon
And 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 Texas vacation's gonna start right here
If the phone's for me, you can tell 'em I just sailed away
[Verse 5]
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
'Cause it's 5 o'clock somewhere
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
I said, 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
[Verse 8]
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
I'm as tall as you now
Yeah, just about
I don't care, I don't care either
I don't care, you care?
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
[Verse 9]
5 o'clock here in Dallas, Texas
I heard that
If it's just like in Margaritaville, I know it's 5 o'clock
Margaritaville and Texas, hell they're the same thing, Alan
Yeah, just about it, down on the Chattahoochee
Now, we had a 5 o'clock too, buddy
Alright, well, only thing they can do is bring out the cheerleaders
I don't know what to do, now let's get out of here
That sounds good to me
It's 5 o'clock, we'd better get out of here
Here you go
Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only, Jimmy Buffet
Alan Jackson
I need to borrow that hat, man
