Roger Alan Wade - If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough lyrics

If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough When you get knocked down, you gotta get back up I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer But I know enough to know If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough I lit my brain with rotgut whisky Till my pain was chicken fried I've had dudes with badges frisk me Teach me how to swallow pride I took advice no fool would take I got some habits I can't shake I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer But I know enough to know If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough! When you get knocked down, you gotta get back up That's the way it is in life and love If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough I've been up and down and down and out I've been left and right and wrong Yeah, I've walked the walk and I've run my mouth I've been on the short end for too long But if they gave medals for honky tonk wars Hell, I'd put mine in my chest of drawers With my irs bills and divorce papers and all that stuff If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough When you get knocked down, you gotta get back up I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I know enough to know If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
