Coward Of The County - (Tribute to Kenny Rogers)

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 named him Tommy
  • But 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 has just begun"
  • "Promise me son not to do the things I've done
  • Walk away from trouble if you can
  • 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
  • An' there was three of them
  • Tommy opened up the door and
  • Saw his 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
  • 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"
  • But you could've heard a pin drop
  • When Tommy stopped and locked the door
  • Twenty years of crawling
  • Were bottled up inside him
  • He wasn't holding nothing back
  • He let 'em have it all
  • When 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
  • An 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
  • And Papa I should hope you understand
  • Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"
  • Everyone considered him the coward of the county
