1700 Somewhere Songtext
von Joshua Block

The sun is hot
And that old clock is moving slow
And so am I
Workday passes like molasses in wintertime
But it′s July
Getting paid by the hour and older by the minute
My boss just pushed me over the limit
I'd like to call him something
But I just think I′ll call it a day

Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past 12, but I don't care
It′s 1700 somewhere


Well this lunch break, it′s gonna take all afternoon
And half the night
Tomorrow, I know that there will be hell to pay
Hey, but that's alright
I′m living paycheck to paycheck
For the whole year
My Nashville vacation's gonna start right here
If the phone′s for me
You can tell 'em I just sailed away

Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It′s only half past 12, but I don't care
It's 1700 somewhere

I could pay off my tab
Put myself in a cab
And be back to work before 2
At the moment like this
You can′t help wonder
What would Joshua Block do?

Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It′s only half past 12, but I don't care
Pour me something tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It′s only half past 12, but I don't care
Oh, I don′t care
It's 1700 somewhere


What time zone am I in?
What country am I in?
It doesn′t matter, it's 1700 somewhere
I'm living paycheck to paycheck
I′ll sue your ass
It′s 1700 in New York
It's 1700 in Miami
It′s 1700 in Nashville

It's 1700 somewhere
