If you want the lyrics, here they are:
D#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
F A#
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up,
D#
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know,
F A#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
D#
I lit my brain with rotgut whisky
F A#
Till my pain was chicken fried
D#
I've had dudes with badges frisk me,
F A#
Teach me how to swallow pride
D#
I took advice no fool would take
F A#
I got some habits, I can't shake
D#
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know,
F A#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
D#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!
F A#
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up.
D#
That's the way it is in life and love
F A#
If your gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.
D#
I've been up and down and down and out
F A#
I've been left and right and wrong
D#
Will walk the walk and run my mouth
F A#
Been on that short end for to long
D#
But if they gave metals for honkie tonk f#ck$ng wars
F A#
Hell I'd keep mine in my chest o' drawers
D#
Well my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
F D#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!
EVERYBODY!
D#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!
F A#
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up.
D#
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know,
F A#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
F A#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
One more time!
A#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
END.
