Lyrics

The sun is hot, and that old clock is movin' slow And so am I Workday passes like molasses in wintertime But it's July I'm gettin' paid by the hour and older by the minute My boss just pushed me over the limit I'd like to call him somethin' I think I'll just call it a day Pour me somethin' 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 Well, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon And half the night Tomorrow mornin', 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 Our Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here Hit the phones for me, you can tell 'em I just sailed away And pour me somethin' 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, pour myself in a cab And be back to work before two At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder What would Jimmy Buffett do? Funny you should ask, Alan I'd say, "Pour me somethin' tall and strong Make it a Hurricane before I go insane It's only half-past twelve, but I don't care" Pour me somethin' tall and strong Make it a Hurricane before I go insane It's only half-past twelve, but I don't care (He don't care) and I don't care It's five o'clock somewhere What time zone am I on? What country am I in? It doesn't matter, it's five o'clock somewhere It's always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it I heard that You've been there, haven't you? Yes, sir I've seen your boat there I've been to Margaritaville a few times Alright, well, that's good Stumbled on my way back Okay, just wanna make sure you can keep it between the navigational beacons Between the buoys, I got it Alright, well, it's five o'clock, let's go somewhere I'm ready, crank it up Let's get outta here I'm gone
