If your 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 your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough |
|
I drenched my brain with Rot-Gut whiskey |
|
Till my pain was chicken fried |
|
And I had dudes with badges frisk me |
|
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 |
|
I've been up and down and down and up |
|
I've been left and right and wrong |
|
Yeah, I've walked the walk and I've run my mouth |
|
On the short end for too long |
|
If they gave medals for honky tonk f@#kin wars |
|
Hell, I'd put mine in my chest of drawers |
|
With my irs bills and divorce papers and all that stuff |
|
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough |
|
(Everybody!) |
|
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 |
