The sun is hot and that old clock is moving slow
And so are my workday passes like molasses
In wintertime, like it's July
I'm getting paid by the hour, 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
Pull 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
This lunch break is gonna take all afternoon and half the night
Tomorrow morning
I know there'll be hell to pay
That's alright
I ain't had a day off, man, in over a year
How'd you make a vacation? It's gonna start right here
If they're full to me, you can tell them I just said away
Pull 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, put myself in a cab
And be back at work before two
But at a moment like this
I can't help but wonder
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
He'd say
Pull me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane
Before I go insane
It's only half past twelve
But I don't care
Pull me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane
Before I go insane
Go insane
It's only half past twelve
But I don't care
And we don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
It's five o'clock somewhere
It's five o'clock somewhere
It's five o'clock somewhere
