INTRO: G C D G

N/C C

If you're gonna be dumb, ya gotta be tough

D G

When you get knocked down you gotta get back up

C

I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know

D G

If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough

C

I lit my brain with rot-gut whiskey

D G

'Til 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

C

Ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know

D G

If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough

N/C C

If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough

D G

When you get knocked down ya gotta get back up

C

That's the way it is in life and love

D G

If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough

BREAK: G C D G

C

I been up and down and down and out

D G

I been left and right and wrong

C

Well I walk the walk and I run my mouth

D G

Been on that short end for too long

C

But if they gave medals for honky tonk wars

D G

Hell I'd keep mine in my chester drawers

C

With my RS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff

D G

If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough

N/C C

If you're gonna be dumb, ya gotta be tough

D G

When you get knocked down ya gotta get back up

C

I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know

D G

If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough

D C

If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough

G
