"Five O'Clock 500" lyrics

"Five O'Clock 500"

Just punched the clock and boy, am I ready
Walkin' out the door a-headin' home
It's time to buckle up again
In my rolling hunk of tin
It's quittin' time, the evenin' race is on

It's that five o'clock 500, and I run it every day
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses, all in my way
We've got Darrel, we got Dale
Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff
Oh, the boss just dropped the green, we're on our way
It's that five o'clock 500 every day
(Get me outta here)

Oh, Bubba's runnin' right on my bumper
Pushin' me but there's nowhere to go
Lane changin' left and right
Blowin' horns and blinkin' lights
Oh, the fast lane has never been so slow

It's that five o'clock 500, and I run it every day
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses, all in my way
We've got Darrel, we got Dale
Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff
Well, the boss just dropped the green, we're on our way
It's that five o'clock 500 every day
(Slow it down, buddy. Ahh, speed it up. Let's get home)

Well, the caution is out, we're at a stand-still
Heard there's construction up ahead
Won't be long, so they say
Soon we'll all be on our way
Some trucker on the CB just said

It's that five o'clock 500, and I run it every day
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses, all in my way
We've got Darrel, we got Dale
Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff
Oh, the boss just dropped the green, we're on our way
It's that five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500
Five o'clock 500 every day
Every day, every day, every day

(If we're goin' now, forget about the speed limit. Nobody's goin' the speed limit anyway. These guys must be goin' 85. I don't see a police anywhere. But if I was drivin' 85 I'd see 'em)
