It’s 5 o’clock somewhere
by Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson

lyrics:

The sun is hot and that old clock
Is movin’ slow, and so am I
Work day passes like molasses
In winter time, but it’s July

Getting paid by the hour
And older by the minute
My boss just pushed me
Over the limit

I could call him something,
Think I’ll just call it a day

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 five o’clock somewhere

This lunch break is gonna take
All afternoon, half the night
Tomorrow morning I know there’ll be hell to pay
But, hey, that’s all right

I ain’t had a day off now, in over a year
My Jamaican vacation’s gonna start right here
If the phone’s for me you can just tell them
I just sailed away

Pour me something tall and strong.
Make it a big boy drink I don’t wanna think
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

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

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, no i don’t care
It’s five o’clock somewhere

Filmed in Indianapolis on Thursday June 26, 2003, this is a live version of the #1 summer hit. Alan Jackson joins Jimmy onstage to film the clips used in the official video version, performing the song in its entirety.
