Intro
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 with life and love
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
Break
I've been up and down and down and out
I've been left and right and wrong
Well I walk the walk and run my mouth
Been on that short end for too long
Well if they gave medals for honky-tonk wars
Hell I'd keep mine in my chest of drawers
With my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
Hell 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
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
