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
