[Verso 1]
D
Sitting on the porch of an A-frame cabin
G D
Breathing in the mountain breeze
Chomping at the bit to hit that river
G A
Running right in front of me
D
I'm thinking I oughta tie this fly
G D
With a pheasant feather and elk hair
Lord have mercy
A D
It's a cutthroat world out there
[Refrão]
Bm A
I don't mind the 9-to-5
G D
But sometimes, the grind gets old
Bm A
So when I burn out, the tug of a trout
G D
Is medicine for my soul
Bm A
It's a peace of mind you can only find
G D
Out in the middle of nowhere
D
So I'm out here

'Cause it's a cutthroat world out there

I grew up cowboy tough
G D
I'm used to bustin' my butt all day
But them money grabbers and damn backstabbers
G A
Make it hard to take

Well, I'm alright with a good, clean fight
G D
But the devil, he don't fight fair
A D
So I thank God there's a cutthroat world out there
[Refrão]
