Intro:

G, C, D, G


G- C If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough,
D G When you get knocked down you gotta get back up,
G C I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough to know,
D G If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.
G C I lit my brain with rot-gut whisky,
D G 'Till my pain was chicken fried,
G C And I had dudes with badges frisk me,
D G And Teach me how to swallow pride,
G C I took advice no fool would take,
D G I got some habits I can't shake,
G C I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough to know,
D G If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.
G- C If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough,
D G When you get knocked down you gotta get back up,
G C That's the way it is in life and love,
D G If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.
G, C, D, G
G C I've been up and down and down and out,
D G I've been left and right and wrong,
G C Well I walk the walk and I run my mouth,
D G Been on that short end for too long,
G C Well if they get medals for honky-tonk wars,
D G Hell, I'd keep mine in my chest-of-drawers,
G C With my RS Bills and Divorce Papers and all that stuff,
D G If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.
G- C If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough,
D G When you get knocked down you gotta get back up,
G C I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough to know,
D G If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.
G C If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.
