About Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. He grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family. As a teenager, he performed locally as part of a country duo. He left school to work and married his high-school sweetheart, Denise, who worked as an airline stewardess.

It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere Lyrics

Song by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett

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
