Check the dip tube. If it is broken, as Hugh said, it will mix the cold and hot water near the top of the water heater which is where the hot water leaves the heater. It's a $3 part.

The fact that you get 5 minutes of hot water seems to indicate that the water heater is otherwise working normally.
