Coward of the County - Dickie Rock,The Mainliners

Everyone considered him the coward of the County He'dnever 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 'Causehe was my brother'sson 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'vedone Just walk away from trouble if you can It won'tmean you'reweak if you turn the other cheek I hope you'reold enough to understand Son you don'thave to fight to be a man There'ssomeone for everyone and Tommy'slove was Becky In her arms he didn'thave 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 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'spicture As his tears fell on his daddy'sface He heard these words again Promise me son not to do the things I'vedone Just walk away from trouble if you can It won'tmean you'reweak if you turn the other cheek I hope you'reold enough to understand Son you don'thave 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 'crossthe floor When Tommy turned around they said Hey look old yellow'sleaving But you could'veheard a pin drop When Tommy stopped and locked the door Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him He wasn'tholding nothing back he let 'emhave it all When Tommy left the bar room Not a gatlin boy was standing He said this one'sfor Becky As he watched the last one fall An I heard him say I promised you dad not to do the things you'vedone I walk away from trouble when I can Now please don'tthink I'mweak I didn'tturn the other cheek And papa I should hope you understand Sometimes you gotta fight when you'rea man Everyone considered him the coward of the County
