[00:00:00] Coward of the Country - Ray Dylan
[00:00:03] Lyricist:Roger Bowling/Billy Edd Wheeler
[00:00:07] Composer:Roger Bowling/Billy Edd Wheeler
[00:00:11] Everyone considered him the coward of the county
[00:00:17] He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
[00:00:24] His mama named him Tommy
[00:00:26] But folks just called him yellow
[00:00:31] Something always told me
[00:00:33] They were reading Tommy wrong
[00:00:37] He was only ten years old
[00:00:40] When his daddy died in prison
[00:00:44] I looked after Tommy
[00:00:46] 'Cause he was my brother's son
[00:00:50] I still recall the final
[00:00:53] Words my brother said to Tommy
[00:00:57] Son my life is over
[00:00:59] But yours has just begun
[00:01:04] Promise me son not to do the things
[00:01:08] 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
[00:01:44] One day while he was working
[00:01:47] The Gatlin boys came calling
[00:01:51] They took turns at Becky
[00:01:54] There was three of them
[00:01:57] Tommy opened up the door
[00:02:00] And saw his Becky crying
[00:02:04] The torn dress
[00:02:05] The shattered look was more
[00:02:07] Than he could stand
[00:02:10] He reached above the fireplace
[00:02:13] And took down his daddy's picture
[00:02:17] As the tears fell on his daddy's face
[00:02:20] He heard these words again
[00:02:22] And his
[00:02:24] Promise me son not to do the things
[00:02:28] I've done
[00:02:29] Walk away from trouble if you can
[00:02:34] Now it won't mean you're weak
[00:02:37] If you turn the other cheek
[00:02:40] I hope you're old enough to understand
[00:02:45] Son you don't have to fight to be a man
[00:02:51] The Gatlin boys just laughed
[00:02:52] At him when he walked into the barroom
[00:02:57] One of them got up and met him halfway
[00:03:01] 'Cross the floor
[00:03:04] When Tommy turned around they said
[00:03:06] Hey look old yeller's leaving
[00:03:11] But you could've heard a pin drop
[00:03:13] When Tommy stopped and locked the door
[00:03:17] Twenty years of crawling was bottled up
[00:03:21] Inside him
[00:03:24] He wasn't holding nothin' back
[00:03:26] He let 'em have it all
[00:03:30] When Tommy left the barroom
[00:03:33] Not a Gatlin boy was standing
[00:03:37] He said this one's for Becky
[00:03:39] As he watched the last one fall
[00:03:42] And I heard him say
[00:03:44] I promised you dad
[00:03:46] Not to do the things you've done
[00:03:49] I walk away from trouble when I can
[00:03:54] Now please don't think I'm weak
[00:03:56] I didn't turn the other cheek
[00:04:00] And papa I sure hope you understand
[00:04:05] Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man
[00:04:11] Everyone considered him the coward
[00:04:14] Of the county
