[Intro]
G, C, D, G
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
I ain t the sharpest knife in the drawer
But I know enough to know
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
I lit my Brain with Rot-Gut whiskey
Till my pain was chicken fried
And I had dudes with badges frisk me
And teach me how to swallow pride
I took advice no fool would take
I got some habits I can t shake
I ain t the sharpest knife in the drawer
But I know enough to know
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
That s the way it is in life and love
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
[C, D, G]
I ve been up and down and down and out
I ve been left and right and wrong
Well I walk the walk and I run my mouth
Been on the short end for too long
Well if they gave medals for honky-tonk ing wars
Hell I d keep mine in a chest of drawers
With my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
[EVERBODY]
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
I ain t the sharpest knife in the drawer
But I know enough to know
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
One more time
If you re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
