Synopsis

A stranded Jerry Cantrell is picked up by a motorist driving a 1972 Dodge Challenger, but the brief rescue quickly turns into a reckless crime spree. Cantrell steals the car, narrowly avoids a collision with a semi, and later crosses paths with Sean Kinney and a woman who take the vehicle for themselves. A high-speed pursuit follows through desert roads and small-town streets, ending in an explosive escape that leaves Cantrell alone beneath the setting sun.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video debuted on MTV's "120 Minutes" on March 15, 1998, shortly after "Cut You In" became the lead single from Cantrell's debut solo album, "Boggy Depot."
  • Cantrell's father, Jerry Cantrell Sr., appears as the sheriff. He had previously been featured in Alice in Chains' "Rooster" video.
  • Sean Kinney appears in the video as more than one character, including a man seen at the gas station and a disguised accomplice.
  • The 1972 Dodge Challenger used in the video was later given away through MTV's "Jerry Cantrell's Muscle Car Madness" contest. The winner also received a trip to Los Angeles to meet Cantrell backstage.
  • The clip received two 1998 Billboard Music Video Award nominations: Best Hard Rock/Metal Clip and Best New Hard Rock/Metal Artist Clip.
  • Unlike a conventional band performance video, the clip is structured almost entirely as a short action film. Cantrell is shown singing, but the musicians do not perform the song on screen.

Lyrics

I like to sit
Do nothing at home
I disappear, turn off the phone
I lose myself
Hide from the sun
I make a trip, when I'm out of fun
I cut you in, come on let's go for a fall
I cut you in, and you ain't leavin' at all
I cut you in, don't let it go to your head
I cut you in, part-time friend
I call you up
Whenever I'm stoned
We chew the skin, choke on the bones
