as a true die hard hardrocker i ,ve always loved country music i was a truckdriver for years its just honoust music just like hardrock not fooling around just just how it is pure and simple you only get respect when you give respect
country is not worldwide but in the netherlands popular we have much country singers this song was a hit in the netherlands in dutch DE LAFAARD VAN DE STAD SINGER GERARD SCHOONEBEEK
Have you checked out any of Kenny Rogers's material while he was providing the lead vocals for the First Edition? - Just Dropped In - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town - Something's Burning were their biggest hits.
This song came out in 1979 and the story behind this song is Tommy's dad died in prison after killing a man in a bar fight and asked Tommy not to fight so he wouldn't join him in prison.
Wow, I never saw that sanitized video before! The original song was one of my very favorite songs by KR, as it made it clear Tommy's girlfriend had been raped by the Gatlin Boys... And he then closed the doors and not one of them were fit to stand on their own feet afterwards! Hopefully because they were all dead... Oh, oops, think of ice cream commercials instead! Or, or, not real-life stuff that might happen much more often than we want to think about...

The movie before the song wasn’t needed. Kenny can paint the picture with words
Love Kenny Rogers. He has such an awesome voice! Love your reaction! ♥

Lyrics:
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 yeller'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
I thought you were reacting to Kenny's song. Oh well, this is good too.

You didn’t do the song. You did the movie. You missed the whole story by missing the song.
