Coward Of The County - Done Again (又一次乐队)[00:00:00]

Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county[00:00:10]

He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong[00:00:17]

His mama named him tommy but folks just called him yellow[00:00:23]

But something always told me they were reading tommy wrong[00:00:30]

He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison[00:00:37]

Well i looked after tommy cause he was my brother's son[00:00:43]

And i still recall the final words my brother said to tommy[00:00:50]

Son my life is over but yours is just begun[00:00:56]

Promise me son not to do the things i've done[00:01:03]

Walk away from trouble if you can[00:01:08]

Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek[00:01:14]

I hope you're old enough to understand[00:01:19]

Son you don't have to fight to be a man[00:01:24]

There's someone for ev'ryone tommy's love was becky[00:01:30]

In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man[00:01:36]

One day while he was workin the gatlin boys came callin[00:01:43]

They took turns at becky there was three of them[00:01:49]

Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin[00:01:56]

The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand[00:02:03]

He reached above the fireplace took down his daddy's picture[00:02:09]

As the tears fell on his daddy's face he heard these words again[00:02:16]

Promise me son not to do the things i've done[00:02:23]

Walk away from trouble if you can[00:02:28]

Now it don't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek[00:02:33]

I hope you're old enough to understand[00:02:38]

Son you don't have to fight to be a man[00:02:43]

The gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom[00:02:49]

One of them got up and met him halfway cross the floor[00:02:56]

Then tommy turned around they said hey look ol yellow's leavin[00:03:02]

But you coulda heard a pin drop when tommy stopped and locked the door[00:03:09]

Twenty years of crawlin was bottled up inside him[00:03:15]

He wasn't holdin nothin back he let em have it all[00:03:22]

When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin[00:03:28]

He said this one's for becky as he watched the last one fall[00:03:35]

And i heard him say[00:03:40]

I promised you dad not to do the things you've done[00:03:42]

I'll walk away from trouble if i can[00:03:47]

Now please don't think i'm weak i couldn't turn the other cheek[00:03:52]

And papa i sure hope you understand[00:03:58]

Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man[00:04:03]

Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county[00:04:08]
