Coward Of The County
作词：Wheeler Billy Edd Bill+Bowling Roger Dale
作曲：Wheeler Billy Edd Bill+Bowling Roger Dale
演唱：贵族乐团
Ev'ryone considered him
the coward of the county.
He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
His mama named him tommy
the folks just called him yellow
But something always told me
they were reading tommy wrong.
He was only ten years old when
his daddy died in prison.
I looked after tommy ’cause he was my brother's son.
I still recall the final words
my brother said to tommy:
"son
my life is over
but yours is just begun.
Promise me son
not to do the things I've done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
It won't mean you're weak
if you turn the other cheek.
I hope you're old enough to understand:
Son you don't have to fight to be a man."
There's someone for ev'ryone
and tommy's love was becky.
In her arms he didn’t have to
prove he was a man.
One day while he was workin' the gatlin boys came callin’.
They took turns at becky.... there was three of them!
Tommy opened up the door and saw his becky cryin'.
The torn dress
the shattered look was more than
he could stand.
He reached above the fireplace
and took down his daddy’s picture.
As his tears fell on his daddy's face
he heard these words again:
"promise me son
not to do the things I've done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek.
I hope you're old enough to understand:
Son
you don't have to fight to be a man."
The gatlin boys just laughed at him
When he walked into the barroom.
One of them got up and met him
halfway 'cross the floor.
Tommy turned around they said
"hey look! ol' yellow's leavin'."
You coulda heard a pin drop
when tommy stopped and blocked the door.
Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him.
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all.
When tommy left the barroom not a gatlin boy was standin'.
He said
"this one's for becky "
As he watched the last one fall.
And I heard him say
"I promised you dad
not to do the things you done.
I walk away from trouble when I can.
Now please don't think I'm weak
I didn't turn the other cheek
And papa
I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when you’re a man."
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
