If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough
written by Roger Alan Wade


INTRO: G  C  D  G

N/C                                  C
If you're gonna be dumb, ya gotta be tough
D                                            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 ya gotta be tough

                            C
I lit my brain with rot-gut whiskey
D                        G
'Til my pain was chicken fried
                            C
And I had dudes with badges frisk me
D                           G
And teach me how to swallow pride

                            C
I took advice no fool would take D G I got some habits I can't shake C Ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough, to know D G If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough N/C C If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough D G When you get knocked down ya gotta get back up C That's the way it is in life and love D G If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough BREAK: G C D G C I been up and down and down and out D G I been left and right and wrong C Well I walk the walk and I run my mouth D G Been on that short end for too long C But if they gave medals for honky tonk wars D G Hell I'd keep mine in my chester drawers C With my RS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff D G If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough N/C C If you're gonna be dumb, ya gotta be tough D G When you get knocked down ya 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 ya gotta be tough D C If you're gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough G Suey
