She woke me up on the front porch
Second night in a row
Cussing’ me out telling’ me how it’s about time to grow up
She’s right yea I know
But lately I’m startin’ to think
She ain’t been a whole lot more than just a ball and chain
She's been telling everybody I’m gonna have to choose
Between her and all them things I like and damn I like the booze
Shouldn’t come as no surprise we both know what I’ll do
Tonight I’m tyin’ a big one on
Cuz tomorrow she’s cuttin’ me loose
Cuttin me loose cuttin’ me loose
Yea I guess she’s onе less thing to lose
She’s probly loadin’ down somе boxes
With all of my old stuff
And I don’t plan on going back that trashman can pick it up
I got a drink in my hand
Right now that’s all I need
She said she had all she can stand and that’s alright by me
She’s been telling everybody I’m gonna have to choose
Between her and all them things I like and damn I like the booze
Shouldn’t come as no surprise we both know what I’ll do
Tonight I’m tyin’ a big one on
Cuz tomorrow she’s cuttin’ me loose
Cuttin me loose cuttin’ me loose
Yea I guess she’s one less thing to lose
Cuttin me loose cuttin’ me loose
Yea I guess she’s one less thing to lose
She’s been telling everybody I’m gonna have to choose
Between her and all them things I like and damn I like the booze
Shouldn’t come as no surprise we both know what I’ll do
Tonight I’m tyin’ a big one on
Cuz tomorrow she’s cuttin’ me loose
Cuttin me loose cuttin’ me loose
Yea I guess she’s one less thing to lose
Cuttin me loose cuttin’ me loose
Yea I guess she’s one less thing to lose
Cuttin’ Me Loose was written by Reid Haughton & Dan Fernandez & Nick Columbia.
Cuttin’ Me Loose was produced by Sadler Vaden.
Reid Haughton released Cuttin’ Me Loose on Fri May 19 2023.
When we went into the writing session for Cuttin' Me Loose, we were just wanting to write a breakup anthem. We liked the idea of telling a story about a guy that had been broken up with but he wasn’t sad about it. So, that’s what we decided to do!
I wrote this with Nick Columbia and Dan Fernandez. Nick came in with the idea for the song, and Dan started playing the guitar line almost immediately. This song is the one on my EP that came out most true to the demo.
We wrote this at Dan’s home studio. It came together pretty quickly. It was a very effortless write for all of us.
