G    F                     C        G
Just punched the clock and boy am I ready
C                            G
Walking out the door headin' home
     C              D7       G                     C
It’s time to buckle up again in my rolling hunk of tin
                      Am              D7
Its quittin' time the evening race is on

         G         C         G
Its that 5 o'clock 500 and I run it every day
                                        C
Pick up trucks cars and buses all in my way
                 D7             G                      C
We've got Darryl we've got Dale Richard Mark Rusty and Jeff
                             Am                 D7
Well the boss just dropped a green we're on our way

It's that 5 o'clock 500 every day

    F               C           G
Now Bubba's runnin' right on my bumper
C                                 G
Pushin' me but there's nowhere to go
C             D7             G                          C
Lane changin' left and right blowin' horns and blinkin' lights
             Am                     D7
Boy the fast lane has never been so slow

Repeat #2

         F          C              G
Well the caution is out we're at a standstill
C                              G
Heard there's construction up ahead

Won't be long so they say soon we'll all be on our way
                    Am      D7
