Cutthroat (Live Driveway Session) Video (MV)

I should have left back then
When he said, "you wanna write a hit?
And see the checks roll in
You gotta lie a bit
It's a cutthroat business, man
That's just the way it is"
Maybe he was right
And here I am
The same room I grew up in
It's become sick medicine
Cutting ropes and chasing ghosts
Climbing up the tallest ledge
Wondering how I'll get back home
Young and dumb
That's what they would have called us
Running from
The men that we should have become
Out of luck
Out of second chances
Till there's nobody in this bar left to blame
Closed bowling alley
We used to practice all night long
Working on the next big thing
That'll get us out of Arkansas
And to a bigger town
To a bigger crowd
But nothing ever panned out
I guess we didn't have the sound
Cause there's a million other people
Trying to fit in the same shoes
It's not like they don't deserve it
But it's only given to a few
It's a cutthroat business man
That's just the way it is
Maybe you should learn to know
When to call it quits
Young and dumb
That's what they would have called us
Running from
The men that we should have become
Out of luck
Out of second chances
Till there's nobody in this bar left to blame
Young and dumb
That's what they would have called you
Running from
Mortgage loans and scholarship funds
Out of luck
Played a little too long
Now there's nobody in this bar left to blame
But me
