If Youre Gonna Be Dumb Video (MV)

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 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 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.
Thats 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,
Well I walked the walk and I runned my mouth,
Been on that 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,
If you're gonna be dumb, you've gotta be tough!

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!
