Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

5:01 Blues

I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over

Time to go home but no one to go home to

That whistle just blew bad news

I punch out and put in

Another long night again, missin' you

I got these 5:01 blues

I used to watch that old clock on the wall

Wishin' I could make time fly

But ever since you walked out on me

Quittin' time just make me want to cry

I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over

Time to go home but no one to go home to

That whistle just blew bad news

I punch out and put in

Another long night again, lovin' you

I got these 5:01 blues

I could go out and find somebody new

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

I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over

Time to go home but no one to go home to

That whistle just blew bad news

I punch out and put in

Another long night again, missin' you

I got these 5:01 blues

I got those 5:01 blues another work day is over

Time to go home but no one to go home to

That whistle just blew bad news

I punch out and put in

Another long night again, missin' you

I got these 5:01 blues

Oh man, I got no place to go

No one to go to
