Break Lyrics

If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
If you’re gonna do stupid stuff you’re gonna get hurt
I ain’t the brightest bulb on the tree but I know enough
To know,
If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough

FIGURE

Hds/Sds Square Thru – (Y’all hold my beer and watch this, I saw it on YouTube,
I think I can do it)
- Make a Right-Hand Star, Turn star one time
Hds/Sds Star Left in the middle, one full turn to the same two
Right & Left Thru the outside two – with same girl Half Sashay
In front of you, shake hands, go Right & Left Grand
Next you meet you’ll Promenade   -   -

Alternate Lyrics For Square Thru

  1. Get me a big stick and I’ll whack that hornet’s nest, I’m fast, I can outrun ‘em
  2. Y’all watch me dive off this cliff into that river, naw don’t need to check the water, it looks deep
  3. I think I’ll take a short cut through the pasture, I ain’t worried about that bull, I can run faster
