CMAT - Aw, Shoot! lyrics
About this lyric:
Aw, Shoot! has been described as an **alluring country bop** that criss-crosses between something personal and an oblique reference to the hit show *Emily in Paris*. Crafted in the French capital, it's noted for being an **addictive slice of off-piste pop-fuelled Americana**, with more than a little wine in its veins³.
CMAT, the Irish country-pop artist, has shared that the song came about during a challenging songwriting period in Paris. She mentioned drinking three bottles of wine a day and experiencing a bit of a creative block until an accidental encounter with an American girl who mistook her for someone else. This incident, reminiscent of a plot point in *Emily in Paris*, helped her break through the block and resulted in the creation of "Aw, Shoot!"².
The song has been well-received and is part of CMAT's journey following her sophomore album *Crazymad, For Me*. It's a testament to her unique approach to music and storytelling¹²³.

Phones and glasses scattered ‘round the room I put my jumper in the freezer, just to find something to do Tourist knocks on my door by mistake See I was dying on the seventh, and a friend lives on the eighth I’m a sad country song of a woman Should do good for the brand but it doesn’t She saw my flat, I saw the joy drain from her eyes Aw, shoot! I put my life on pause and I can’t find any way out I’m ruined, and I’m rigged to lose so put your money down I’ll do it again do it again for the good skin on wine Aw, shoot! I cut my life up and I’m running out of time I can hear them laughing up the stairs Excited to see Paris, huh, they wish I wasn’t here Now I am like a fly buzzed in the room They dance among the paintings, and I drink researching tombs Now I’m a national cliche of a lady It should do good to have fun but baby Having fun’s a welcome and I’ve worn that welcome out Aw, shoot! I put my life on pause and I can’t find any way out I’m ruined, and I’m made to lose so put your money down I’ll do it again do it again, I can’t stop drinking wine Aw, shoot! I cut my life up and I’m running out of time Ooh-ohh, ah whuh-ho, sorry ladies, up in the sky! I’m a sad country song of a woman It should do good to be smart Cos if they’re the angels I’m here knowing I’m not high Aw, shoot! I put my life on pause and I can’t find any way out I’m ruined, and I’m made to lose so put your money down I’ll do it again do it again for the angels on high Aw, shoot! I cut my life up and I’m running out of time Ooh-ohh, ah whuh-ho, ah whuh-hooo, have a nice holiday!
