[00:05.25]
[00:11.88]	Ev＇ryone considered him the coward of the county.
[00:17.46]	He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
[00:24.11]	His mama named him Tommy, but folks just called him yellow,
[00:31.02]	But something always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.
[00:37.98]	He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison.
[00:44.44]	Well, I looked after Tommy ＇cause he was my brother＇s son.
[00:50.02]	And I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy:
[00:54.73]	＂Son, my life is over, but yours is just begun.＂
[01:04.89]	＂Promise me, son, not to do the things I＇ve done.
[01:09.66]	Walk away from trouble if you can.
[01:14.73]	Now, it don＇t mean you＇re weak if you turn the other cheek.
[01:20.01]	I hope you＇re old enough to understand:
[01:25.28]	Son, you don＇t have to fight to be a man.＂
[01:30.61]	There＇s someone for ev＇ryone, Tommy＇s love was Becky.
[01:35.93]	In her arms he didn＇t have to prove he was a man.
[01:43.66]	One day while he was workin＇ the Gatlin boys came callin＇.
[01:49.05]	They took turns at Becky, there was three of them!
[01:57.20]	Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin＇.
[02:03.62]	The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
[02:09.95]	He reached above the fireplace, took down his daddy＇s picture.
[02:14.40]	As the tears fell on his daddy＇s face, he heard these words again.
[02:23.29]	＂Promise me son, not to do the things I＇ve done.
[02:28.58]	Walk away from trouble if you can.
[02:33.65]	Now, it don＇t mean you＇re weak if you turn the other cheek.
[02:38.91]	I hope you＇re old enough to understand:
[02:41.55]
[02:44.12]	Son, you don＇t have to fight to be a man.＂
[02:49.63]	The Gatlin boys just laughed at him when he walked into the barroom.
[02:53.53]	One of them got up and met him halfway ＇cross the floor.
[03:02.50]	Then Tommy turned around they said, Hey look ol＇ yellow＇s leavin＇.＂
[03:08.84]	But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door.
[03:16.04]	Twenty years of crawlin＇ was bottled up inside him.
[03:22.31]	He wasn＇t holdin＇ nothin＇ back; he let ＇em have it all.
[03:28.71]	When Tommy left the barroom not a Gatlin boy was standin＇.
[03:35.81]	He said, ＂This one＇s for Becky.＂, as he watched the last one fall.
[03:40.50]	And I heard him say:
[03:41.77]	＂I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you＇ve done.
[03:46.92]	I＇ll walk away from trouble if I can.
[03:49.73]	Now please don＇t think I＇m weak, I couldn＇t turn the other cheek,
[03:56.26]	And papa, I sure hope you understand:
[04:02.60]	Sometimes you gotta fight when you＇re a man.＂
[04:08.25]	Ev＇ryone considered him the coward of the county...

[00:02.25]
[00:11.88]	以前郡里的每个人都觉得他是个懦夫
[00:17.46]	但他从没出来证明过自己
[00:24.11]	她母亲给他起名叫汤米，但人们一般叫他阿黄
[00:31.02]	但我总有一种感觉他们看错汤米了
[00:37.98]	他十岁的时候父亲就在监狱去世了
[00:44.44]	嗯...我照顾汤米是因为他是我弟弟的儿子
[00:50.02]	到现在我还能想起我弟弟对汤米说的最后几句话：
[00:54.73]	“孩子，我的人生已经结束了，但你的人生才刚刚开始”
[01:04.89]	“答应我，儿子，不要犯我犯过的错”
[01:09.66]	尽量远离那些麻烦事吧
[01:14.73]	回避这些事并不代表你软弱
[01:20.01]	我希望你已经长大了可以理解我的话了
[01:25.28]	儿子啊，你不必通过打架来证明自己是个男人
[01:30.61]	每个人都有自己心爱的人，而汤米的恋人叫贝吉
[01:35.93]	在她的身旁他不必证明自己是个真男人
[01:43.66]	有一天他工作的时候，一群痞子走了过来
[01:49.05]	他们轮奸了贝吉，他们有三个人呢！
[01:57.20]	汤米打开了门看见贝吉正在哭
[02:03.62]	撕破的裙子，憔悴的脸让他不忍直视
[02:09.95]	他回到家，拿起了壁炉上的父亲的照片
[02:14.40]	汤米的眼泪掉了下来，他又听见了这些话
[02:23.29]	“答应我，儿子，不要犯我犯过的错”
[02:28.58]	尽量远离那些麻烦事吧
[02:33.65]	回避这些事并不代表你软弱
[02:38.91]	我希望你已经长大了可以理解我的话了
[02:44.12]	儿子啊，你不必通过打架来证明自己是个男人
[02:49.63]	汤米走进了酒吧，痞子们却讥笑了起来
[02:53.53]	其中一个人站了起来挡在了汤米身前
[03:02.50]	汤米准备转身走开，他们喊着“看啊！阿黄想要逃跑了！”
[03:08.84]	汤米突然停在了门口并反锁了门，空气很安静，一根针掉下的声音都能听见
[03:16.04]	20年的屈辱在他心中逐渐点燃
[03:22.31]	并毫无保留的发泄了出来
[03:28.71]	汤米离开酒吧的时候，没有一个人能站得起来
[03:35.81]	最后一个人倒下的时候，他说：“这次是为了贝吉”
[03:40.50]	他说：
[03:41.77]	“我答应过你，父亲不犯你犯下的错”
[03:46.92]	能避免麻烦事我当然会避免
[03:49.73]	但我回避这些事并不代表我是个懦夫
[03:56.26]	父亲，我希望你能明白
[04:02.60]	有时候，你一定要打翻别人来证明你是个真的男人
[04:08.25]	以前郡里的每个人都觉得他是个懦夫
