5:01 Blues Lyrics by Merle Haggard

5:01 Blues

0

[Chorus]
I got these 5:01 blues
Another workday is over
Time to go home, but no one to go home to
That whistle just blew bad news
I'll punch out and put in
Another long night again missing you
I got these 5:01 blues

[Verse 1]
I used to watch that old clock on the wall
Wishing I could make time fly
But ever since you walked out on me
Quitting time just make me want to cry

[Chorus]
I got these 5:01 blues
Another workday is over
Time to go home, but no one to go home to
That whistle just blew bad news
I'll punch out and put in
Another long night again loving you
I got these 5:01 blues

[Verse 2]
I could go out and find somebody new
But I'd only spoil her fun
My mind still says that it's time to love you
When the clock says the workday is done

[Chorus]
I got these 5:01 blues
Another workday is over
Time to go home, but no one to go home to
That whistle just blew bad news
I'll punch out and put in
Another long night again missing you
I got these 5:01 blues

[Chorus]
I got these 5:01 blues
Another workday is over
Time to go home, but no one to go home to
That whistle just blew bad news
And I'll punch out and put in
Another long night again missing you
I got these 5:01 blues

[Outro]
Oh man, I got no place to go
No one to go to
