Roger Alan Wade, Dave Roen - If Your Gonna Be Dumb
текст песни

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
