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
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
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
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
And
took down
his
daddy's
picture
As
the
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
barroom
One
of
them
got up
and
met
him
halfway 'cross the floor
When
Tommy
turned around
they
said
'Hey
look
Old
Yellew'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
nothin'
back
He
let 'em have it
all
When
Tommy
left
the
barroom
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
sure
hope
you
understand
Sometimes
you gotta fight
when
you're
a
man'
Everyone
considered
him
the
coward of the county
