| [00:10.99] | Everyone considered him |
| [00:13.04] | The coward of the county |
| [00:17.23] | He'd never stood one single time |
| [00:19.72] | To prove the county wrong |
| [00:23.22] | His mama named him Tommy |
| [00:25.91] | But folks just called him yellow |
| [00:29.79] | Something always told me |
| [00:32.83] | They were reading Tommy wrong |
| [00:34.73] | |
| [00:36.77] | He was only ten years old |
| [00:39.61] | When his daddy died in prison |
| [00:42.96] | I looked after Tommy |
| [00:46.10] | Cause he was my brother's son |
| [00:49.64] | I still recall the final words |
| [00:52.74] | My brother said to Tommy |
| [00:57.22] | Son my life is over, but yours has just begun |
| [01:02.27] | Promise me, son |
| [01:05.81] | Not to do the things I've done |
| [01:09.17] | Walk away from trouble if you can |
| [01:13.67] | Now it don't mean you're weak |
| [01:16.12] | If you turn the other cheek |
| [01:19.11] | And I hope you're old enough to understand |
| [01:24.55] | Son, you don't have to fight to be a man |
| [01:27.50] | |
| [01:29.95] | There's someone for everyone |
| [01:32.04] | And Tommy's love was Becky |
| [01:35.72] | In her arms he didn't have |
| [01:38.87] | To prove he was a man |
| [01:42.21] | One day while he was working |
| [01:44.71] | The Gatlin boys came calling |
| [01:48.59] | They took turns at Becky |
| [01:52.93] | N'there was three of them |
| [01:56.34] | Tommy opened up the door |
| [01:58.84] | And saw his Becky crying |
| [02:02.96] | The torn dress, the shattered look |
| [02:05.29] | Was more than he could stand |
| [02:09.19] | He reached above the fireplace |
| [02:11.18] | Took down his daddy's picture |
| [02:14.22] | As a tear fell on his daddy's face |
| [02:17.76] | He heard these words again |
| [02:19.86] | |
| [02:22.46] | Promise me, son |
| [02:24.30] | Not to do the things I've done |
| [02:27.20] | Walk away from trouble if you can |
| [02:31.84] | Now it don't mean you're weak |
| [02:34.79] | If you turn the other cheek |
| [02:37.22] | And I hope you're old enough to understand |
| [02:42.97] | Son, you don't have to fight to be a man |
| [02:45.86] | |
| [02:48.02] | The Gatlin boys just laughed at him |
| [02:50.61] | When he walked into the barroom |
| [02:54.75] | One of them got up |
| [02:56.50] | And met him half way cross the floor |
| [03:00.89] | Tommy turned around they said |
| [03:03.74] | "Hey look, old yella's leavin'" |
| [03:08.58] | But you could've heard a pin drop |
| [03:10.48] | When Tommy stopped and locked the door |
| [03:14.77] | Twenty years of crawling |
| [03:16.12] | Was bottled up inside him |
| [03:20.05] | He wasn't holding nothing back |
| [03:22.96] | He let 'em have it all |
| [03:27.20] | Tommy left the bar room |
| [03:29.14] | Not a Gatlin boy was standing |
| [03:33.94] | He said, "This one's for Becky" |
| [03:35.53] | As he watched the last one fall |
| [03:39.21] | N' I heard him say |
| [03:39.86] | |
| [03:40.31] | I promised you, Dad |
| [03:42.16] | Not to do the things you've done |
| [03:45.54] | I walk away from trouble when I can |
| [03:50.00] | Now please don't think I'm weak |
| [03:52.63] | I didn't turn the other cheek |
| [03:55.58] | Papa, I sure hope you understand |
| [04:01.16] | Sometimes you gotta fight |
| [04:03.01] | When you're a man |
| [04:06.80] | Everyone considered him |
