    [Verse 1]
    Everyone considered him the coward of the county
    He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
    His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow
    Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong
    [Verse 2]
    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 has just begun"
    [Chorus]
    Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
    Walk away from trouble if you can
    Now it don'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
    [Verse 3]
    There's someone for everyone, and Tommy's love was Becky
    In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
    One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling
    They took turns at Becky, n'there was three of them
    Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky crying
    The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand
    He reached above the fireplace, took down his daddy's picture
    As a tear fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again
    [Chorus]
    Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
    Walk away from trouble if you can
    Now 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
    [Verse 4]
    The Gatlin boys just laughed at him
    When he walked into the barroom
    One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor
    Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look, old yella's leavin'"
    But you could've heard a pin drop
    When Tommy stopped and locked the door
    Twenty years of crawling was bottled up inside him
    He wasn't holding nothing back, he let 'em have it all
    When Tommy left the bar room, not a Gatlin boy was standing
    He said, "This one's for Becky" as he watched the last one fall
    N' I heard him say
    [Chorus 2]
    I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've 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
    [Outro]
    Everyone considered him the coward of the county

      Hi Josie...I don't know if you're aware, but there is a movie called Coward of the County with Kenny...and it's awesome.
      I just introduced my son to his first Kenny Roger's song last night. He recently started listening to country music and mentioned it's like storytelling. I told him, there ain't no better storytelling that Kenny Roger's Coward of the County...and I sent him this video. He said he got goosebumps. I told him he had to watch the movie, too!
      I just wanted to share with you😉

    Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
    Walk away from trouble if you can
    Now 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"
    "I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've 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 should hope you understand
    Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"

    Not just a song, this is some advice mostly for children who are from broken homes,, it’s an advice that you can still change the story of your family name from bad to good as you don’t have to kill your home because you feel this is how it has been from generation to generation but also you must know when to act and when not to act in other to blend into the current society for the betterment of your society

    This is the one and only song of Kenny Rogers' that I dislike. In fact, its message
    disgusts me. There is only one thing that fighting accomplishes. Pain.

    Everyone considered him the coward of the county
    He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
    His mama named him Tommy, but 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 has just begun"
    "Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
    Walk away from trouble if you can
    Now 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 everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
    In her arms, he didn't have to prove he was a man
    One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came calling
    They took turns at Becky an' there was three of them
    Tommy opened up the door and saw Becky crying
    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
    Now 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 bar room
    One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor
    When Tommy turned around they said, "Hey look! Old Yellow's leaving"
    But you could've heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door
    Twenty years of crawling was bottled up inside him
    He wasn't holding nothing back, he let 'em have it all
    When Tommy left the bar room, not a Gatlin boy was standing
    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've 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 should hope you understand
    Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"
    Everyone considered him the coward of the county
