If You're Gonna Be Dumb You Gotta Be Tough

Roger Alan Wade

Intro: 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 rot-gut whisky, 'Till my pain was chicken fried, And I had dudes with badges frisk me, And 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. G- 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, Well I walk the walk and I run my mouth, Been on that short end for too long, Well if they get medals for honky-tonk wars, Hell, I'd keep mine in my chest-of-drawers, With my RS 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.
