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

 Hell I'd keep mine in a chest of drawers
                              C
 With my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
