                                       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.
