　　[00:02.90]Coward Of The County - Kenny Rogers

　　[00:11.28]Everyone considered him the coward of the county

　　[00:18.15]He d never stood one single time to prove the county wrong

　　[00:24.90]His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him Yellow

　　[00:31.67]Something always told me, they were reading Tommy wrong

　　[00:38.54]He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison

　　[00:45.42]I looked after Tommy, cause he was my brother s son

　　[00:51.87]I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy

　　[00:58.93] Son, my life is over, but yours has just begun

　　[01:05.81] Promise me, son, not to do the things I ve done

　　[01:11.25]Walk away from trouble if you can

　　[01:16.51]It won t mean you re weak if you turn the other cheek

　　[01:21.88]I hope you re old enough to understand

　　[01:27.20]Son, you don t have to fight to be a man

　　[01:32.82]There s someone for everyone and Tommy s love was Becky

　　[01:39.86]In her arms, he didn t have to prove he was a man

　　[01:46.50]One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling

　　[01:53.56]They took turns at Becky an there was three of them

　　[02:00.37]Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky crying

　　[02:07.14]The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand

　　[02:14.07]He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy s picture

　　[02:20.51]As his tears fell on his daddy s face, he heard these words again

　　[02:27.64] Promise me, Son, not to do the things I ve done

　　[02:33.01]Walk away from trouble if you can

　　[02:38.30]It won t mean you re weak if you turn the other cheek

　　[02:43.68]I hope you re old enough to understand

　　[02:48.99]Son, you don t have to fight to be a man

　　[02:54.74]The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the bar room

　　[03:01.74]One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor

　　[03:08.43]When Tommy turned around they said, Hey look! Old Yellow s leaving

　　[03:15.62]But you could ve heard a pin drop

　　[03:17.95]When Tommy stopped and locked the door

　　[03:22.13]Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him

　　[03:28.93]He wasn t holding nothing back, he let em have it all

　　[03:35.81]When Tommy left the bar room, not a Gatlin boy was standing

　　[03:42.49]He said, This one s for Becky, as he watched the last one fall

　　[03:47.81]An I heard him say

　　[03:49.16] I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you ve done

　　[03:54.46]I walk away from trouble when I can

　　[04:00.09]Now please don t think I m weak, I didn t turn the other cheek

　　[04:05.71]And Papa, I should hope you understand

　　[04:10.84]Sometimes you gotta fight when you re a man

　　[04:16.65]Everyone considered him the coward of the county

　　[04:19.65]
