<P> Jim `` Moose '' Brown wrote `` It 's Five O'Clock Somewhere '' with Don Rollins . Although Brown had several other cuts recorded by other artists , this song was the first to make the final cut of an album . The title lyric was inspired by a teacher who worked with Rollins . Brown recorded the demo and offered it to Kenny Chesney , who turned it down . It was then offered to Alan Jackson , who said that he was looking for a song that he could record as a duet with Jimmy Buffett . </P>
