[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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)

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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)

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

(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)
