Kenny Rogers - Coward Of The County歌词
下载《Coward Of The County文本歌词》He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
His mama named him Tommy
the folks just called him yellow
Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
Son my life is over but yours is just begun
Promise me son not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son you don't have to fight to be a man
There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'
They took turns at Becky
there was three of them
Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin
The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture
As his tears fell on his daddy's face, He heard these words again
Promise me son not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son you don't have to fight to be a man
The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom
One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor
When Tommy turned around they said Hey look! ol' yellow's leavin
But you could've heard a pin drop
when Tommy stopped and locked the door
Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all
When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin
He said This one's for Becky as he watched the last one fall
And I heard him say
I promised you Dad not to do the things you done
I've walked away from trouble when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak I didn't turn the other cheek
and Papa I sure hope you understand
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man
His mama named him Tommy
the folks just called him yellow
Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
Son my life is over but yours is just begun
Promise me son not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son you don't have to fight to be a man
There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'
They took turns at Becky

Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin
The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand

As his tears fell on his daddy's face, He heard these words again

Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand

Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man
