Cutthroat World

Sittin' on the porch of an A-frame cabin

Breathin' in the mountain breeze

Chompin' at the bit to hit that river

Runnin' right in front of me

I'm thinkin' I oughta tie this fly

With a pheasant feather and elk hair

Lord have mercy, it's a cutthroat world out there

I don't mind the nine to five

But sometimes the grind gets old

So when I burn out, the tug of a trout

Is medicine for my soul

It's a peace of mind you can only find

Out in the middle of nowhere

So I'm out here 'cause it's a cutthroat world out there

I grew up cowboy tough

I'm used to bustin' my butt all day

But them money grabbers and damn backstabbers

Make it hard to take

Well, I'm alright with a good clean fight

But the devil, he don't fight fair

So I thank God there's a cutthroat world out there

I don't mind the nine to five

But sometimes the grind gets old

So when I burn out, the tug of a trout

Is medicine for my soul

It's a peace of mind you can only find

Out in the middle of nowhere

So I'm out here 'cause it's a cutthroat world out there

It's a peace of mind you can only find

Out in the middle of nowhere

It's the way it feels when you start to reel

And he takes off on a tear

I'm out here 'cause it's a cutthroat world out there
