[00:11.28]Everyone considered him the coward of the county
[00:18.15]He'd never stood one single time to prove the county wrong
[00:24.90]His mama named him Tommy but folks just called him Yellow
[00:31.67]Something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong
[00:38.54]He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison
[00:45.41]I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son
[00:51.86]I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy
[00:58.93]"Son my life is over but yours has just begun"
[01:05.80]"Promise me son not to do the things I've done
[01:11.24]Walk away from trouble if you can
[01:16.51]It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
[01:21.88]I hope you're old enough to understand
[01:27.19]Son you don't have to fight to be a man"
[01:32.82]There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky
[01:39.85]In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man
[01:46.49]One day while he was working the Gatlin boys came calling
[01:53.55]They took turns at Becky an' there was three of them
[02:00.37]Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky crying
[02:07.13]The torn dress the shattered look was more than he could stand
[02:14.07]He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture
[02:20.51]As his tears fell on his daddy's face he heard these words again
[02:27.63]"Promise me Son not to do the things I've done
[02:33.01]Walk away from trouble if you can
[02:38.30]It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
[02:43.68]I hope you're old enough to understand
[02:48.99]Son you don't have to fight to be a man"
[02:54.74]The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the bar room
[03:01.74]One of them got up and met him half way cross the floor
[03:08.43]When Tommy turned around they said "Hey look Old Yellow's leaving"
[03:15.62]But you could've heard a pin drop
[03:17.94]When Tommy stopped and locked the door
[03:22.13]Twenty years of crawling were bottled up inside him
[03:28.93]He wasn't holding nothing back he let 'em have it all
[03:35.80]When Tommy left the bar room not a Gatlin boy was standing
[03:42.49]He said "This one's for Becky as he watched the last one fall
[03:47.80]An I heard him say
[03:49.16]"I promised you Dad not to do the things you've done
[03:54.46]I walk away from trouble when I can
[04:00.09]Now please don't think I'm weak I didn't turn the other cheek
[04:05.71]And Papa I should hope you understand
[04:10.84]Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"
[04:16.65]Everyone considered him the coward of the county
