About This Song


Frustrations of a singer/songwriter; one who never gives up and wins in the end!

Cutthroat Town
Writers: Kay Mott/Chad Mott/Paul deMarco

Verse 1
I made my way in these smokey bars
...Everybody said I was gonna go far

So I loa-ded up my truck, with my ol-d six string
Headed to music city, chasing my dreams

Chorus
Hard to get a start in a cutthroat town
If you don't know somebody, they just shoot you down
Playing for tips don't pay my bills
It just buys you drinks and gets you girls

Had about enough of these big city lights
So I'm going back home where the wolves don't bite
I'm getting out before I go down
Cutthroat town

Verse 2
Traced my steps back to the hills of my roots
Spent five years working in a tie and suit

I fin...ly got that call that I've been praying for
i guess this world works in mysterious ways
I gave it all up and now I'm gonna get paid

Chorus

Bridge
Don't ever take no for your answer
If you believe in a song and a prayer
You might get that shot...wait and see
You might just end up a celebrity
