The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow

And so am I

The 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 5 o'clock somewhere

This lunch break is gonna take all afternoon

Half the night

Tomorrow morning I know they'll be hell to pay

Hey but that's alright

I ain't had a day off now in over a year

My jamican vacation's gonna start right here

If the phone's for me

You can tell 'em I just sailed away

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 5 o'clock somewhere

I could pay off my tab

Pour myself in a cab

And be back to work before 2

At a moment like this

I can't help but wonder

What would jimmy buffet do

You 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

We don't care

It's five o'clock somewhere

It's 5 o'clock somewhere

It's 5 o'clock somewhere

It's 5 o'clock somewhere
