Cut 'Em (Rodeo Queen Version) Lyrics

I knew that she was scared to love

Fragile in heart but wore it so tough

Said she worked too much for the effort it takes

To put up with me and never get paid

If I had a dollar for the times she wept

I'd be broke as I was born on the day of my death

It don't take money it just takes time

But she's taken them both, now I'm broke and alive

So cut 'em off quickly, cut 'em off clean

Don't get too close boys she's chopping down trees

Running like a child thinking they're fast

She's picking up speed outrunning her past

I know your loved ones crippled your dreams

Wanted you to be the hometown rodeo queen

And you're fighting to find what you'll never get back

That's a dad who don't drink and a mother who laughs

So cut 'em off quickly, cut 'em off clean

They don't want what you got, they don't have what you need

Tell 'em your soul darling, speak 'em your mind

If it burns in the end at least something's on fire

Well your mind is at odds with your mouth when you speak

Too beat to be sad, too sad to be mean

I don't care if they know, I don't care if they see

Cause you either pay to find love or you pay to be free

So cut me off quickly and cut me off clean

I'm tired of praying illogical things

Ruin me bad as ruin can be

And I'll head to that place where you'll never find me

Cut me off quickly and cut me off clean

I've got blood in my mouth from clenching my teeth

Tell me you love me or tell me you don't

Woman make up your mind cause I know that I won't
