歌曲歌詞
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 by 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
There was three of them
Tommy opened 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 this word 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 would hold 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
Now hear 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
