Roger Alan Wade - If You're 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
