Close the World at Five (Narration)
Well as I'm talking to you now, it's 5:11 on the 24th of June Here in Sag Harbour, New York where I'm in the studio, winding up the Mobile years portions of Buried Treasure What a trip this has been for me and I hope for you when you hear it
But let's just say that 5 'o clock seems to be a very popular time of day in my world There is not a show that goes by when we're on the road that we're not having a time check Not a sound check, a time check
For 5 'o clock was on my mind, years before Alan Jackson called me in 2003 with the idea of an anthem dedicated to quitting time around the world Now Close the world at 5, was written in 1969 And I think it had something to do with the fact that in those days i was actually working a 9 to 5 job before I went to my night job at the Admiral's Corner Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
when you keep hours like that, as Willie Nelson says Time will slip away Time has never really been figured out, although Einstein came close But, it certainly has been a great source of inspiration for writers since the beginning of time Whether you write lines about losing it, stopping it, travelling forward or backward in it, or just wanting a cocktail at quitting time Time does not stop
We can't ever really close the world at 5 but I think it helps to be able to think that you can So let's think about it, Here's the last song on the Mobile section of Buried Treasure And a fitting song to end it, Close the world at 5
