《Coward of the County》歌词

[00:00:00] Coward of the County - Academy Allstars
[00:00:12] Everyone considered him the coward of the county
[00:00:19] He'd never stood one single time
[00:00:21] To prove the county wrong
[00:00:25] His mama named him Tommy
[00:00:27] But folks just called him Yellow
[00:00:32] Something always told me
[00:00:34] They were reading Tommy wrong
[00:00:38] He was only ten years old
[00:00:41] When his daddy died in prison
[00:00:45] I looked after Tommy
[00:00:47] Cause he was my brother's son
[00:00:51] I still recall the final words
[00:00:54] My brother said to Tommy
[00:00:58] "Son my life is over
[00:01:00] But yours has just begun"
[00:01:04] "Promise me son
[00:01:06] Not to do the things I've done
[00:01:09] Walk away from trouble if you can
[00:01:15] It won't mean you're weak
[00:01:17] If you turn the other cheek
[00:01:20] I hope you're old enough to understand
[00:01:25] Son you don't have to fight to be a man"
[00:01:30] There's someone for everyone
[00:01:33] And Tommy's love was Becky
[00:01:37] In her arms
[00:01:38] He didn't have to prove he was a man
[00:01:43] One day while he was working
[00:01:46] The Gatlin boys came calling
[00:01:50] They took turns at Becky an
[00:01:53] Nvever three of them
[00:01:57] Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky crying
[00:02:03] The torn dress
[00:02:04] The shattered look was more than he could stand
[00:02:10] He reached above the fireplace
[00:02:12] And took down his daddy's picture
[00:02:16] As his tears fell on his daddy's face
[00:02:19] He heard these words again
[00:02:23] "Promise me Son not to do the things I've done
[00:02:28] Walk away from trouble if you can
[00:02:33] It won't mean you're weak
[00:02:35] If you turn the other cheek
[00:02:38] I hope you're old enough to understand
[00:02:43] Son you don't have to fight to be a man"
[00:02:49] The Gatlin boys just laughed at him
[00:02:51] When he walked into the bar room
[00:02:55] One of them got up
[00:02:57] And met him half way cross the floor
[00:03:02] When Tommy turned around they said
[00:03:04] "Hey look Old Yellow's leaving"
[00:03:08] But you could've heard a pin drop
[00:03:10] When Tommy stopped and locked the door
[00:03:15] Twenty years of crawling
[00:03:17] Were bottled up inside him
[00:03:21] He wasn't holding nothing back
[00:03:24] He let 'em have it all
[00:03:28] When Tommy left the bar room
[00:03:30] Not a Gatlin boy was standing
[00:03:34] He said "This one's for Becky
[00:03:37] As he watched the last one fall
[00:03:39] An I heard him say
[00:03:41] "I promised you Dad
[00:03:43] Not to do the things you've done
[00:03:46] I walk away from trouble when I can
[00:03:51] Now please don't think I'm weak
[00:03:53] I didn't turn the other cheek
[00:03:56] And Papa I should hope you understand
[00:04:01] Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"
[00:04:07] Everyone considered him the coward of the county
