It's five o'clock somewhere
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow,An' so am IWork day passes like molasses in wintertime,But it's JulyI'm gettin' paid by the hour, an' older by the minuteMy boss just pushed me over the limitI'd like to call him somethin',I think I'll just call it a day
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insaneIt's only half-past twelve but I don't careIt's five o'clock somewhere
Oh, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon,An' half the nightTomorrow mornin', I know there'll be hell to pay,Hey, but that's all rightI ain't had a day off now in over a yearOur Jamaican vacation's gonna start right hereHit the 'phones for me,You can tell 'em I just sailed away
An' pour me somethin' tall an' strong,Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insaneIt's only half-past twelve but I don't careIt's five o'clock somewhere
I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab,An' be back to work before twoAt a moment like this, I can't help but wonder,What would Jimmy Buffet do?
Funny you should ask that because I'd say:Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insaneIt's only half-past twelve but I don't care
