Coward of the County

Key: ACapo 3Easy

AEv'ryone considered him the Dcoward of the Acounty.

He'd never stood one single time to prove the county Ewrong.

His Amama named him Tommy, the Dfolks just called him Ayellow,

but something always told me they were Ereading Tommy Awrong.

AHe was only ten years old when his Ddaddy died in Aprison.

I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's Eson.

I Astill recall the final words my Dbrother said to ATommy:

"Son, my life is over, but Eyours is just Abegun.

APromise me, son, not to Ddo the things I'veA done.

DWalk away from Atrouble if you Ecan.

AIt won't mean you're weak if you Dturn the other Acheek.

I hope you're old Denough to underEstand:

Son, E7you don't have to fight to be a Aman."

AThere's someone for ev'ryone and DTommy's love was ABecky.

In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a Eman.

One Aday while he was workin' the DGatlin boys came Acallin'.

They took turns at Becky?ThEere was threAe of them!

ATommy opened up the door and Dsaw his Becky Acryin'.

The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could Estand.

He Areached above the fireplace and took Ddown his daddy's Apicture.

As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he Eheard these words Aagain:

A"Promise me, son, not toD do the things I'veA done.

DWalk away from Atrouble if you Ecan.

AIt won't mean you're weak if you Dturn the other Acheek.

I hope you're old Denough to underEstand:

Son, E7you don't have to fight to be a Aman."

(Slide capo to 5th fret)

AThe Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he Dwalked into the Abarroom.

One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the Efloor.

When ATommy turned around they said, "Hey Dlook! ol' yellow's Aleavin'."

(Whole line spoken) E A

But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and blocked the door.

ATwenty years of crawlin' was Dbottled up insAide him.

He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it Eall.

When ATommy left the barroom not a DGatlin boy was Astandin'.

He said, "This one's for Becky," as he Ewatched the last one Afall.

(Spoken)

And I heard him say,

A"I promised you, Dad, not to Ddo the things you'Ad done.

I walk away from trouble when I Ecan.

Now Aplease don't think I'm weak, I didn't Dturn the other Acheek,

and Papa, I sure Dhope you underEstand:

SomeE7times you gotta fight when you're a Aman."

AEv'ryone considered him the Dcoward of the county. A

and you tell her you don't have the time,

so you move away fast, but you know it won't last

you've got your heart at the wheel,

you want to start DshaAring, DcarAing, caring aEgain
