Jimmy Buffet

Alan Jackson

Both together

The sun is hot

and that old clock

is movin' slow

and so am I

The work day 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

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 all right

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

All right, well, that's good

stumbled my way back

okay, we 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
