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'll 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 wanna 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'll punch out and put in

Another long night again, lovin' you

I've 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'll punch out and put in

Another long night again, missin' you

I've 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

And I'll punch out and put in

Another long night again, missin' you

I've got these 5:01 blues

Oh man, I got no place to go

No one to go to (fade)
