"17:00 Somewhere" is perhaps Josh's most well known song, due to him singing it in a TikTok near the end of the Michael Quinn Era. Just like every other song Josh has "created", it is a cover of Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett's "It's Five O' Clock Somewhere".

This was recorded when he was in Nashville, TN.

Lyrics

The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow

An' so am I

Work day passes like molasses in wintertime

But it's July

I'm gettin' paid by the hour, an' older by the minute

My boss just pushed me over the limit

I'd like to call him somethin'

I think I'll just call it a day

[Chorus]

Pour me somethin' tall an' strong

Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane

It's only half-past twelve but I don't care

It's 1700 somewhere

[Verse 2]

Well, this lunch break, it's gonna take all afternoon

An' half the night

Tomorrow, I know there will be hell to pay

Hey, but that's alright

I'm livin' paycheck to paycheck for the whole year

My Nashville vacation's gonna start right here

If the phone’s for me

You can tell 'em I just sailed away[1]
