Coward of the County Lyrics – Kenny Rogers
Singer: Kenny Rogers
Title: Coward of the County
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county.
He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow,
But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
Well, I looked after Tommy 'cause he was my brother's son.
And I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy:
"Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun."
"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done.
Walk away from trouble if you can.
Now, it don'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 ev'ryone, Tommy's love was Becky.
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.
One day while he was workin' the Gatlin boys came callin'.
They took turns at Becky, there was three of them!
Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin'.
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
He reached above the fireplace, 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 don'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.
Then Tommy turned around they said, Hey look ol' yellow's leavin'."
But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door.
Twenty years of crawlin' was bottled up inside him.
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back; he let 'em have it all.
When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin'.
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'll walk away from trouble if I can.
Now please don't think I'm weak, I couldn't turn the other cheek,
And papa, I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man."
Ev'ryone considered him the coward of the county…

Coward of the County – Terjemahan / Translation
Ev’ryone menganggapnya pengecut kabupaten.
Dia tidak pernah berdiri satu kali untuk membuktikan county salah.
Mama-nya menatapnya Tommy, tetapi orang-orang baru memanggilnya Kuning,
Tetapi sesuatu yang selalu memberi tahu saya bahwa mereka membaca Tommy.
Dia baru berusia sepuluh tahun ketika ayahnya meninggal di penjara.
Yah, aku merawat Tommy karena dia adalah putra saudaraku.
Dan saya masih mengingat kata-kata terakhir yang dikatakan saudaraku kepada Tommy:
“Nak, hidupku sudah berakhir, tetapi milikmu baru saja dimulai.”
“Berjanjilah padaku, Nak, tidak melakukan hal-hal yang telah saya lakukan.
Berjalan menjauh dari masalah jika Anda bisa.
Sekarang, itu tidak berarti Anda lemah jika Anda memutar pipi yang lain.
Saya harap Anda cukup tua untuk mengerti:
Nak, kamu tidak harus berjuang untuk menjadi pria. ”
Ada seseorang untuk Ev’ryone, cinta Tommy adalah Becky.
Dalam pelukannya, dia tidak perlu membuktikan bahwa dia adalah seorang pria.
Suatu hari ketika dia bekerja di Gatlin Boys datang Callin ‘.
Mereka bergiliran di Becky, ada tiga dari mereka!
Tommy membuka pintu dan melihat tangisan Becky-nya.
Gaun robek, tampilan yang hancur lebih dari yang dia bisa berdiri.
Dia meraih di atas perapian, mengambil foto ayahnya.
Saat air mata jatuh pada wajah ayahnya, dia mendengar kata-kata ini lagi.
“Berjanjilah aku, jangan lakukan hal-hal yang telah saya lakukan.
Berjalan menjauh dari masalah jika Anda bisa.
Sekarang, itu tidak berarti Anda lemah jika Anda memutar pipi yang lain.
Saya harap Anda cukup tua untuk mengerti:
Nak, kamu tidak harus berjuang untuk menjadi pria. ”
Anak-anak Gatlin hanya menertawakannya ketika dia berjalan ke barroom.
Salah satu dari mereka bangkit dan bertemu dengannya setengah jalan.
Kemudian Tommy berbalik, mereka berkata, Hei, lihat ‘Kuning’s Leavin’. ”
Tapi Anda bisa mendengar pin jatuh ketika Tommy berhenti dan mengunci pintu.
Dua puluh tahun Crawlin ‘dibotolkan di dalam dirinya.
Dia tidak memegang kembali; Dia membiarkan mereka memiliki semuanya.
Ketika Tommy meninggalkan barroom, bukan bocah gatlin berdiri.
Dia berkata, “Yang ini untuk Becky.”, Saat dia menyaksikan yang terakhir jatuh.
Dan saya mendengarnya berkata:
“Aku berjanji padamu, Ayah, tidak melakukan hal-hal yang telah kamu lakukan.
Saya akan pergi dari masalah jika saya bisa.
Sekarang tolong jangan berpikir aku lemah, aku tidak bisa memutar pipi yang lain,
Dan papa, saya harap Anda mengerti:
Terkadang Anda harus bertarung ketika Anda seorang pria. ”
Ev’ryone menganggapnya pengecut county …
