coward of the county
Singer: kenny rogers
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
