White Ain't Always Right

Lyrics

[Verse]
Josh met a man in a suit, seemed legit, kinda tight
Said he had the best deals, promised him the stars, right?
Pulled out his checkbook, trust flowing like a stream
But that dude was slicker than a backwoods creek dream

[Chorus]
White ain't always right, Josh learned the hard way
A handshake and a smile can lead your trust astray
White ain't always right, color don't mean truth
Josh saw his money fly while searching for proof

[Verse 2]
Papers signed, heart aligned, thought he struck gold
But promises turned cold when the story was retold
Man drove a Cadillac, words coated in sweet lies
Josh standing empty-handed, staring at gray skies

[Chorus]
White ain't always right, Josh learned the hard way
A handshake and a smile can lead your trust astray
White ain't always right, color don't mean truth
Josh saw his money fly while searching for proof

[Bridge]
Mandolin strings echo, drums hit the night
Blues in his veins, feeling that bite
White lies hit hard, Josh's lesson is tight
Never judge a book, nor the color of the light

[Verse 3]
Josh got wise, eyes opened wide from the scam
Went back to his roots, working hard where he began
Tougher, smarter, no longer chasing fool's gold
Josh learned the storyline, story never getting old
