[Intro]
G, C, D, G
C
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
D G
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer
C
But I know enough to know
D G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
C
I lit my Brain with Rot-Gut whiskey
D G
Till my pain was chicken fried
C
And I had dudes with badges frisk me
D G
And teach me how to swallow pride
C
I took advice no fool would take
D G
I got some habits I can't shake
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer
C
But I know enough to know
D G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
C
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
D G
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
C
That's the way it is in life and love
D G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
[C, D, G]
C
I've been up and down and down and out
D G
I've been left and right and wrong
C
Well I walk the walk and I run my mouth
D G
Been on the short end for too long
C
Well if they gave medals for honky-tonk fucking wars
D G
Hell I'd keep mine in a chest of drawers
C
With my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
D G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
[EVERBODY]
C
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
D G
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer
C
But I know enough to know
D G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
D C
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
One more time
G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough
