If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough lyrics

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

I've been up and down and down and out

I've been left and right and wrong

Or I've walked the walk and I've run my mouth

Been on the short end for too long

If they gave medals for honky tonk fucking 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

(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
