Coward Of The County

Everyone considered him

  • Everyone considered him
  • The coward of the County
  • He'd never stood one single time
  • To prove the County wrong
  • His mama called him Tommy
  • But folks just called him Yellow
  • But something always told me
  • They were reading Tommy wrong
  • He was only ten years old
  • When his daddy died in prison
  • And I took care 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 has 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 working
  • The Gatlin boys came calling
  • They took turns at Becky
  • There was three of them
  • Tommy opened up the door
  • And saw Becky crying
  • 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 bar room
  • One of them got up and met him
  • Half way 'cross the floor
  • When Tommy turned around they said
  • Hey look old Yellow's leaving
  • You could've heard a pin drop
  • Tommy stopped and locked the door
  • Twenty years of crawling
  • Was bottled up inside him
  • He wasn't holding nothing back
  • He let 'em have it all
  • Tommy left the bar room
  • Not a Gatlin boy was standing
  • He said this one's for Becky
  • As he watched the last one fall
  • I heard him say
  • I promised you dad
  • Not to do the things you've done
  • I walk away from trouble when I can
  • Now please don't think I'm weak
  • I didn't turn the other cheek
  • Papa I should hope you understand
  • Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man
  • Everyone considered him
  • The coward of the County
