It's Five O'Clock Somewhere

This is a duet with Jimmy Buffett, who often sings about the pleasures of not working. In this song, the main character is frustrated at work, and justifies knocking off early by telling himself that it's five o'clock (quitting time) somewhere, so it must be OK.

The Nashville songwriters Jim "Moose" Brown and Don Rollins wrote this song. Brown is a session keyboard player who also wrote Darryl Worley's "If Something Should Happen." Rollins is a sax player who has also written for Ricky Skaggs and Randy Travis.

This song spent eight weeks at #1 on the Country charts, and won the 2003 Grammy for Best Country Song. It was the first #1 song on the Country chart for Jimmy Buffett.
