Cover art for Five O'Clock Somewhere lyrics by Jimmy Buffett

5 o'clock somewhere might be giving aid to Dolly Parton's associated song called 9-5 as we all know that extra 30 minute lunch is there. The song is saying he is known to possibly drink a beer at lunch. Mind you, he is probably his own boss or his wife is because he talks about boss given him hard time so he clicks out early. The song however seems to suggest you shouldn't blow your lid at work else your boss might say, "your fired - I'll mail your final check to you." If you start adding you day's hours with lunch they might tell you it is close enough to quitting time that he'll pay you for the day. If you don't know about then you know on Saturday if you started drinking at noon you have a friend who might say it is close enough but its 5 oclock somewhere which means you can get chatty Cathy about work's mones.
