Roger Alan Wade - If Your Gonna Be Dumb lyrics

rate me

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

'Til my pain was chicken fried

and 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

I walk the walk and i run my mouth

Been on that short end for too long

But if they gave medals for honkey-tonk wars

Hell, I'd keep mine in my chest of drawers

With myIRS 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
