Alan Jackson, Jimmy Buffett – It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere

“It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” – Single by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett from the album Greatest Hits Volume II. Released June 2, 2003

“It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere”  is a song performed by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett, and written by Jim “Moose” Brown and Don Rollins. It was released in June 2003 as the lead single from Jackson’s 2003 compilation album Greatest Hits Volume II. It spent eight non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in the summer of 2003, and ranked #4 on the year-end Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

In May 2016, some of Jimmy Buffett‘s biggest fans piled into the Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville, Tennessee to escape with him to “Margaritaville.”

But little did they know that Buffet had a huge surprise in store for them during the show.

Waiting behind the scenes was none other than Alan Jackson, who gave Buffett’s fans an experience they’re sure to never forget. No one had any idea Jackson was there, so it’s no shock that the audience absolutely lost it when they saw him standing in front of them on stage.

Their excitement only grew as Jackson started singing the first few words to his mega hit duet with Buffett, “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.”

Bringing Back Their Hit Duet
Their excitement only grew as Jackson started singing the first few words to his mega hit duet with Buffett, “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.”

What makes this performance notable is the fact that Jackson and Buffett have rarely performed the song together live. However, it still remains as one of the biggest hits of both of their careers. When it was released it not only topped the Billboard country charts, but crossed over to claim the 17th spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jackson took the lead on most of the song, while Buffett was more than happy to stand back and jam along on his guitar.

But Jackson wasn’t ever singing alone. The entire crowd joined in with him, especially on the chorus, during which they sang at the top of their lungs.

Versuri:

The sun is hot and that old clock is movin’ slow,
An’ so am I.
Work day passes like molasses in wintertime,
But it’s July.
I’m gettin’ paid by the hour, an’ 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 an’ 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.
