Ian Munsick Cutthroat World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting on the porch of an A-frame cabin
Breathing in the mountain breeze
Chomping at the bit to hit that river
Running right in front of me

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm thinking I oughta tie this fly
With a pheasant feather and elk hair
Lord have mercy it's a cutthroat world out there

[Chorus]
I don't mind the 9 to 5
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 cuz it's a cutthroat world out there

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I don't mind the 9 to 5
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 cuz it's a cutthroat world out there

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
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 it takes off on a tear
I'm out here cuz it's a cutthroat world out there
