I vaguely recalled this as a kid...something did not quite sound right
so I googled rusty lizard...paydirt..
Found a book review of American Regional English and there it is...
It is the common fence lizard...AKA rusty back, rusty buck, or as I have
heard, rusty CUSS...   :)   And reading on down the page, in areas of
Texas, there is a rusty gut lizard...so perhaps you heard rusty gut or
cuss and combined them into cut? Or maybe cut is another local variation?

Here's the link I found:

And here is a decent page on the Eastern Fence Lizard:

Colors can vary depending on habitat.  I see these guys all the time..
