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 Edo the things I've Adone.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 4th fret]
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'.E [Spoken]
AThey took turns at Becky.... There was three 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 toE 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 Adone.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:Some
E7times you gotta fight when you're a Aman."AEv'ryone considered him the Dcoward of the [[No]coun[chords], Achords]ty.
