If you want the lyrics, here they are:
If your 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 your 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 your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
If your 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 your 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
Will walk the walk and run my mouth
Been on that short end for to long
But if they gave metals for honkie tonk f#ck$ng wars
Hell I'd keep mine in my chest o' drawers
Well my IRS bills and divorce papers and all that stuff
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!
EVERYBODY!
If your 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 your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
One more time!
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
END.
