Lyrics
VERSE: Five o'clock these days just ain't the same
Quitting time but I'm just gonna stay
Plenty things need doing here
If I could think of one I'd get it done but she's on my mind
VERSE: Used to be I'd head down to the bar
Quitting time that's when the day would start
I'd shoot some pool or watch the game
And the night was shot before I thought 'bout going home
CHORUS: It was just as plain as it could be
But I was moving way too fast to see
How the clock was running out on me
She was getting close to quitting time
VERSE: She'd wait up to hear me tell those lies
'Bout quitting time and where I'd been all night
The stories starting wearing thin
Sometimes she'd cry but somehow I just didn't care
CHORUS
CHORUS: She was just as fine as she could be
Always tried to find the best in me
Til the worst was all that she could see
And she had to call it quitting time
TAG: Five o'clock these days just ain't the same...
