Current song lyrics
Everyone considered him the coward of the county.<br />He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.<br />His mama named him tommy, the folks just called him yellow,<br />But something always told me they were reading tommy wrong.<br /><br />Now He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.<br />I looked after tommy cause he was my brothers son.<br />I still recall the final words my brother said to tommy:<br />Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun.<br /><br />Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done.<br />Walk away from trouble if you can.<br />Now it dont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek.<br />I hope youre old enough to understand:<br />Son, you dont have to fight to be a man.<br /><br />Theres someone for evryone and tommys love was becky.<br />In her arms he didnt have to prove he was a man.<br />One day while he was workin the gatlin boys came callin.<br />They took turns at becky.... there were three of them!<br /><br />Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin.<br />The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.<br />He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddys picture.<br />As the tears fell on his daddys face, I heard these words again:<br /><br />Promise me, son, not to do the things Ive done.<br />Walk away from trouble if you can.<br />Now it dont mean youre weak if you turn the other cheek.<br />I hope youre old enough to understand:<br />Son, you dont have to fight to be a man.<br /><br />The gatlin boys just laughed at him, when he walked into the barroom.<br />One of them got up and met him halfway cross the floor.<br />When tommy turned around they said, hey look! ol yellows leavin.<br />But you coulda heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and locked the door.<br /><br />Twenty years of crawlin was bottled up inside him.<br />He wasnt holdin nothin back; he let em have it all.<br />When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin.<br />He said, this ones for Becky, as he watched the last one fall.<br />And I heard him say,<br /><br />I promised you, dad, not to do the things you've done.<br />I'll walk away from trouble when I can.<br />Now please dont think Im weak, I didnt turn the other cheek,<br />papa, I sure hope you understand:<br />Sometimes you gotta fight when youre a man.<br /><br />Evryone considered him the coward of the county.
