Coward Of The County - Dickie Rock[00:00:00]

Everyone considered him[00:00:11]

The coward of the county[00:00:13]

He'd never stood one single time[00:00:17]

To prove the county wrong[00:00:20]

His mama named him Tommy[00:00:24]

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

Something always told me[00:00:30]

They were reading Tommy wrong[00:00:33]

He was only ten years old[00:00:38]

When his daddy died in prison[00:00:40]

I looked after Tommy[00:00:44]

Cause he was my brother's son[00:00:46]

I still recall the final words[00:00:50]

My brother said to Tommy[00:00:53]

Son my life is over[00:00:57]

But yours has just begun[00:00:59]

Promise me son[00:01:04]

Not to do the things I've done[00:01:06]

Walk away from trouble if you can[00:01:09]

It won't mean you're weak[00:01:14]

If you turn the other cheek[00:01:16]

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 everyone[00:01:29]

And Tammy's love was Becky[00:01:32]

In her arms he didn't have to[00:01:36]

Prove he was a man[00:01:38]

One day while he was working[00:01:42]

The Gatling boys came calling[00:01:44]

They took turns at Becky an[00:01:49]

There was three of them[00:01:51]

Tommy opened up the door[00:01:55]

And saw his Becky crying[00:01:58]

The torn dress[00:02:01]

The shattered look was more[00:02:03]

Than he could stand[00:02:05]

He reached above the fireplace[00:02:08]

And took down his daddy's picture[00:02:10]

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[00:02:31]

If you turn the other cheek[00:02:33]

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

Son you don't have to fight to be a man[00:02:41]

The Gatling boys just laughed at him[00:02:46]

When he walked into the bar room[00:02:48]

One of them got up and met him[00:02:52]

Half way cross the floor[00:02:55]

When Tommy turned around they said[00:02:58]

Hey look old yellow's leaving[00:03:01]

But you could have heard a pin drop[00:03:05]

When Tommy stopped and locked the door[00:03:07]

Twenty years of crawling were[00:03:11]

Bottled up inside him[00:03:14]

He wasn't holding nothing back[00:03:18]

He let em have it all[00:03:20]

When Tommy left the bar room[00:03:24]

Not a Gatling boy was standing[00:03:26]

He said this one's for Becky[00:03:30]

As he watched the last one fall[00:03:32]

An I heard him say[00:03:35]

I promised you dad[00:03:36]

Not to do the things you've done[00:03:39]

I walk away from trouble when I can[00:03:41]

Now please don't think I'm weak[00:03:46]

I didn't turn the other cheek[00:03:49]

And papa I should hope you understand[00:03:51]

Sometimes you gotta fight[00:03:56]

When you're a man[00:03:59]

Everyone considered him[00:04:02]

The coward of the county[00:04:04]
