[Verse]
Little Josh
He’s five foot two
Swagger like he’s six foot ten
It’s true
Pockets empty
But his tongue runs deep
Promises riches he’ll never keep
[Chorus]
"Oh
I’m rich
" he’d say
"just you wait and see
Got gold in the hills and oil by the sea."
But the town folks laugh
They’ve heard it before
Little Josh and his tall tales
Nothing more
[Verse 2]
A Cadillac he don’t even own
“Parked ‘round back
” he says with a tone
Suits from Paris
Silk so fine
But his shirt’s from a thrift store
Covered in grime
[Prechorus]
"Next week
" he says
"I’ll buy the saloon
Throw a party under the harvest moon."
[Chorus]
"Oh
I’m rich
" he’d say
"just you wait and see
Got diamonds in caves and fish in the sea."
But the town folks grin
They’ve heard it before
Little Josh and his tall tales
Nothing more
[Bridge]
He’s a legend in his own mind’s glow
A king without a crown
A show without a show
And when the crowd gets quiet
He keeps on loud
Like a rooster crowin’ to an empty crowd
