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 rotgut whisky

Till my pain was chicken fried

I've 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 out

I’ve been left in right and wrong

Well, I walk the walk and I run my mouth

Been on that short-in for too long

But if they gave medals for honky tonk wars

Hell, I’d keep mine in my chester drawers

With my RS 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

If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

(Sewey!)
