I don't even like country music all that much, but this one speaks, er, sings to me!
It's 5 o'clock Somewhere
The sun is hot and that ol' clock is movin' slow
And so am I
Workday passes like molasses in wintertime
But it's July
Gettin' paid by the hour and older by a minute
My boss just pushed me over the limit
I'd like to call him somethin'
But think I'll just call it a day
Chorus:
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 five o'clock somewhere
Well this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon
And half the night
Tomorrow morning I know there'll be hell to pay
Hey, but that's alright
Ain't had a day off now in over a year
My Jamaican vacation is gonna start right here
If the phones for me
You can tell 'em I've just sailed away
Chorus:
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 five 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?
Jimmy Buffet spoken:
Funny you should ask, Alan
I'd 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
He don't care
And I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere
Alan: He don't care
I don't care
Together: It's five o'clock somewhere
Jimmy: What time zone am I on?
What country am I in?
Alan: It doesn't matter
It's five o'clock somewhere
Jimmy: It's always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it
Alan: I heard that
Jimmy: You've been there haven't you?
Alan: Yes, Sir
Jimmy: I've seen your boat there
Jimmy: All right.
That's good
Alan: Stumbled my way back
Jimmy: OK Just want to make sure you can keep it between the
navigational beacons
Alan: Between the bouys.
I got it
Jimmy: All right.
It's five o'clock.
Let's go somewhere
Alan: I'm ready.
Crank it up
Jimmy: Let's get out of here
Alan: I'm gone

I saw the 5 O'Clock Somewhere video today...pretty good.
Jimmy Buffet proves that yes, you CAN write all your songs while drunk!
I don't like "Black Train" or "The Baby"--both are too preachy for me.

...'It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it's what you leave behind you when you go.'
Randy Travis
Three wooden crosses
Seems to me there's very few musical styles existing other than country right now that lend themself so well to passing on great wisdom in a well crafted song.

I like em all
Yep...I like em all. All types that is. I like all types of music. Country, Rock, Hard, alternative, Some Rap...I don't LIKE every song out there or even every singer just something from every type. I had to listen to Caruso, you know the opera guy while I was growing up. Didn't care for him maybe because my Mom made me listen I don't know but the older I get the more I understand that it's what's "in" the song that counts. ivanribic maybe thats why you don't like this new stuff. Some of it's empty. Myself I have 4 kids and 3 grandkids with a 4th on the way so I went out of my way to try to understand my kids and their music. You and I know that music can play a big part of your life when you're growing up. I'll tell you up front. There's a lot of it I can't stand. In fact my youngest daughter and I don't come anywhere near eye to eye on the music she listens to. I've even had to ban some of the stuff she's brought home once I heard it. That being said I do have one thing I can't believe you said you don't like. Shania??

"We've got both kinds... Country and Western"
I dont know why that popped into my head
But it was the lady at one of the bars in Blues Brothers
I like Remember when also, very good song

I like the churchy tunes AND the outlaw country...
HANK JR from late 70s early 80s is in your face unapolagetic outlaw-
How about "I like to have women I've never had"
and of course "Country boy can survive"
Merle, Waylon, Steve Earle, Robert Earl Keen...
Anybody can give a song, I want some attitude and a story to boot!
