Coward Of The County(Demonstration Version|Includes Lead Singer)
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county
- Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county
- He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
- His mama named 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
- Well i looked after tommy cause he was my brother's son
- And 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 don'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 ev'ryone 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 took down his daddy's picture
- As the 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 don'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
- Then tommy turned around they said hey look ol yellow's leavin
- But you coulda 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've done
- I'll walk away from trouble if i can
- Now please don't think i'm weak i couldn't turn the other cheek
- And papa i sure hope you understand
- Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man
- Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county
Let's listen to my solo!
