Song language: English
If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough |
| 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 |
| Well, I drenched my brain with Rot-Gut whiskey |
| 'Till all 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 out |
| I’ve been left and right and wrong |
| Yeah, I’ve walked the walk and I’ve run my mouth |
| I’ve been on the short end for too long |
| But if they gave medals for honky tonk 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 |
| 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 |
