Eb
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
F Bb
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up,
Eb
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know,
F Bb
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
Eb
I lit my brain with rotgut whisky
F Bb
Till my pain was chicken fried
Eb
I've had dudes with badges frisk me,
F Bb
Teach me how to swallow pride
Eb
I took advice no fool would take
F Bb
I got some habits, I can't shake

I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know,
F Bb
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!

Eb
That's the way it is in life and love
F Bb
If your gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.
Eb
I've been up and down and down and out
F Bb
I've been left and right and wrong
Eb
Will walk the walk and run my mouth
F Bb
Been on that short end for to long
Eb
But if they gave metals for honkie tonk f#ck$ng wars
F Bb
Hell I'd keep mine in my chest o' drawers
Eb
Well my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
F Eb
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!
EVERYBODY!
Eb
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!

One more time!

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 cant'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
