If You're Gonna be Dumb - Roger Allen Wade


Chorus

G
If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough

C                                                                                      	 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 you gotta be tough


G 	      	             C
I lit my brain with rot gut whiskey

 	  	  	      G
Till my pain was chicken fry

 	  	  	     C
and I had dudes with badges frisk me

D 	  	                             G
teach me how to swallow pride

G
I took advice no fool would take


I got some habits I can't shake


I aint 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 been up and down and down and out


I been left and right and wrong


well I walk the walk and I run my mouth


been on the short end for too long


but if they gave medals for honky tonk wars


hell I'd keep mine in my chester drawers


with my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff


hell 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 aint 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
