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,
F A#
If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!

I've been up and down and down and out

Will walk the walk and run my mouth

Been on that short end for to long

Hell I'd keep mine in my chest o' drawers

If your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!
