Just punched the clock and boy, am I ready Walkin’ out the door a-headin’ home It’s time to buckle up again In my rolling hunk of tin It’s quittin’ time, the evenin’ race is on
It’s that five o’clock 500, and I run it every day Pick-up trucks, cars and buses, all in my way We’ve got Darrel, we got Dale Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff Oh, the boss just dropped the green, we’re on our way It’s that five o’clock 500 every day (Get me outta here)
Oh, Bubba’s runnin’ right on my bumper Pushin’ me but there’s nowhere to go Lane changin’ left and right Blowin’ horns and blinkin’ lights Oh, the fast lane has never been so slow
It’s that five o’clock 500, and I run it every day Pick-up trucks, cars and buses, all in my way We’ve got Darrel, we got Dale Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff Well, the boss just dropped the green, we’re on our way It’s that five o’clock 500 every day (Slow it down, buddy. Ahh, speed it up. Let’s get home)
Well, the caution is out, we’re at a stand-still Heard there’s construction up ahead Won’t be long, so they say Soon we’ll all be on our way Some trucker on the CB just said

(If we’re goin’ now, forget about the speed limit. Nobody’s goin’ the speed limit anyway. These guys must be goin’ 85. I don’t see a police anywhere. But if I was drivin’ 85 I’d see ’em)
