Coward Of The County - 贵族乐团 (Noble Band)[00:00:00]

Written by：Wheeler Billy Edd Bill/Bowling Roger Dale[00:00:05]

Everyone considered him the coward of the county[00:00:10]

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

His mama named him Tommy[00:00:23]

The folks just called him yellow[00:00:26]

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[00:00:36]

I looked after Tommy cause he was my brother's son[00:00:43]

I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy[00:00:49]

Son[00:00:56]

My life is over[00:00:56]

But yours is just begun[00:00:58]

Promise me son[00:01:02]

Not to do the things I've done[00:01:05]

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

It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek[00:01:13]

I hope you're old enough to understand[00:01:18]

Son you don't have to fight to be a man[00:01:23]

Someone for everyone and Tommy's love was becky[00:01:29]

In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man[00:01:35]

One day while he was workin' the gatlin' boys came callin'[00:01:42]

They took turns at becky there was three of them[00:01:48]

Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin'[00:01:55]

The torn dress[00:02:01]

The shattered look was more than he could stand[00:02:02]

He reached above the fireplace and took down his Daddy's picture[00:02:08]

As his tears fell on his Daddy's face[00:02:14]

He heard these words again[00:02:17]

Promise me son[00:02:21]

Not to do the things I've done[00:02:23]

Walk away from trouble if you can[00:02:26]

It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek[00:02:31]

I hope you're old enough to understand[00:02:36]

Son[00:02:41]

You don't have to fight to be a man[00:02:42]

The gatlin' boys just laughed at him[00:02:47]

When he walked into the barroom[00:02:49]

One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor[00:02:53]

Tommy turned around they said[00:03:00]

Hey look ol' yellow's leavin'[00:03:02]

You coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and blocked the door[00:03:07]

Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him[00:03:13]

He wasn't holdin' nothin' back he let 'em have it all[00:03:19]

When Tommy left the barroom not a gatlin' boy was standin'[00:03:26]

He said[00:03:32]

This one's for becky[00:03:33]

As he watched the last one fall[00:03:35]

And I heard him say[00:03:37]

I promised you dad[00:03:39]

Not to do the things you done[00:03:41]

I walk away from trouble when I can[00:03:44]

Now please don't think I'm weak[00:03:49]

I didn't turn the other cheek[00:03:51]

And papa[00:03:54]

I sure hope you understand[00:03:55]

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

Everyone considered him the coward of the county[00:04:05]
