Five O’Clock World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Up every morning just to keep a job I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob Sounds of the city poundin' in my brain While another day goes down the drain (Yeah, yeah, yeah) [Chorus] But it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows No one owns a piece of my time And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes Thinkin' that the world looks fine, yeah Oh my lady, yeah [Verse 2] Tradin' my time for the pay I get Livin' on money that I ain't made yet I've been goin', tryin' to make my way But I live for the end of the day (Yeah, yeah, yeah) [Chorus] 'Cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows No one owns a piece of my time And there's a long-haired girl who waits, I know To ease my troubled mind, yeah Oh my lady, yeah [Verse 3] In the shelter of her arms, everything's okay When she talks, then the world goes slippin' away And I know the reason I can still go on When every other reason is gone (Yeah, yeah, yeah) [Chorus] In my five o'clock world, she waits for me Nothing else matters at all 'Cause every time my baby smiles at me I know that's it's all worthwhile, yeah Oh my lady, yeah Oh my lady, yeah Oh my lady, yeah
