i feel like i've definitely seen you comment this on multiple videos

[@vladdracul7810]

Perhaps I'm not a wise man. I love being on a ship at storm. OHHHHH HERE WE GO! Or maybe I'm just an aderilan junkie

[@Bob-mo4no]

a man must be capable of great violence, if you are not than you arent peaceful you are harmless

[@richardbunker1747]

It's more scary to be confronted by somebody who doesn't stand up for themselves , but stands up for others.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

It makes sense where Tommy's line was. Do whatever you want to him, but don't touch his love.

[@chrismorin1318]

I am 100% the same way. You might get a pass me if you're throwing jabs at me. But attack someone who can't defend themselves ESPECIALLY if it's someone I love, you've just signed up for a world of hurt!

[@chlupl]

That's my walk. I hate violence and have ignored a fair amount dealt to me, but I won't hold back if you are messing with some who can't defend themselves or someone I love.

[@myreviews8099]

@Chris Morin bare minimum it's my job to step in between. I'll take the ass whipping if that's what it comes to. Willingly before you're touching my wife of daughter

[@theroachden6195]

Every man has his limits. And every man I know, even the seemingly meek ones, would have done what Tommy did. Never mess with a man's family if you value life.

[@toepow12]

Ol Tommy beat the Sugar Honey Iced Tea out of them Gatlin boys!!! Lol

BOL Zackly!

[@afterhours21711]

@@LFRFAMILY Adam Carolla and Norn Macdonald have a hilarious podcast on KZbin where they breakdown coward of the county and ruby don't take your love to town you should check out sometime. They are not making fun of Kenny or the songs they are just breaking down the events in a comical way.

[@jchocowNZ]

I'm a die hard Iron Maiden fan and every time I hear this song I cry. love Kenny

[@danaberman6929]

In life, you have to be smart and walk away from doing a stupid thing, but that being said, you have to also stand up to those who want to be stupid and push you to the limits. Then they realize they made a grave mistake...

[@Chualland]

The most dangerous guy was usually the quiet perceptive one. If you have ever pissed him off he has probably thought of 10 ways to kill you. 3 of which involve very gruesome deaths.

[@ClaudiuManea]

@@Chualland being the quiet perceptive kind, I can confirm that

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

This song epitomizes the saying "Even demons run when a good man goes to war." When the Gatlin Boys messed with Becky that's when it became the "It was at this moment that they knew they fucked up" and Tommy became vengeance personified.

[@donatello4201]

ayy didn't expect a doctor who quote here

[@kathleentate8343]

Is a good man or a peaceful man?

[@TexasMagnolia]

So Excited! Two very powerful songs: The Gambler Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town

[@mt3311]

Ruby god sakes turn around. That song was written by Mel Tillis.

[@jemieculp6847]

I do love Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town.....

[@KittCrescendo]

I have always loved this one. Do what you want to me, but don’t mess with the people I love (especially those who aren’t strong enough to fight for themselves). That’s how I am… Rarely do I feel the need to fight for myself, but nothing I can’t or won’t do for my family and my dogs.

[@markfergerson2145]

Yep. Oh, and don't fuck with my dog, or with my family when he's watching. Most of the time he's a big goofball but if you want to see the wolf in him come out...

[@greeneyelove2003]

I love this song because both messages are true. Getting into needless fights and acting a fool won't prove you're a man, it only makes you a joke. But there are times, when man or woman, you have to stand up and get serious and fight with all you have. One of the greatest challenges in life is knowing when to pick your battles.

[@debraandrade2275]

I get the chills every time i hear.. “ when Tommy stopped and locked the door…”

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Great song with a great message. You can only turn the other check for so long until you gotta stand up for yourself 👏👏👏♥️

[@vladyvhv9579]

Origin of "turn the other cheek" is that back in the day, someone could be struck backhand and that was seen as an insult. But struck with the palm, it was insighting a fight. So, if somoene backhanded you, you were to turn your other cheek to the, daring them to open-hand slap that cheek, thus saying "do you really wanna fight?"

[@ElissaStark514]

I was mesmerized by this, and I’ve always loved Kenny. I think when you hear songs from your youth, as an adult, you finally understand.

[@pamelapasechnick6899]

Great reaction! There is nothing harder as a parent than to try to find that balance between teaching one's child when and how to stand up for themselves when they must,and when and how they can find other solutions to settle disagreements with others. I have always liked this song, because even though he had always kept his promise to his father to "walk away from trouble when he could", he realized that this situation was not one that he COULD walk away from.

[@ericadams1849]

Yeah, you have to remember his father's words were "walk away from trouble IF you can" he didn't say ALWAYS

[@curtisberard7831]

And the difference between "you don't have to fight to BE a man" and "sometimes you have to fight WHEN you are a man".

[@anitaharris9095]

When you keep it bottled up inside, it builds, and when you let it out it comes out strong and with years of aggression behind it. The moral watch out what you ask for.

[@DaDitka]

Absolutely. Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

I'm loving your reactions and comments to Kenny Rogers Coward of the county!!❤

[@JCourts2k23]

What a legend, still can’t believe he’s gone

[@jackrasbeary4156]

Great song - great reaction. This is kind of stuff the internet was invented for.

[@emmett-amber5456]

When I realized what it was about (literally heard this my whole life but had that "ah ha" moment), I sobbed and didn't listen to this song for years. It still makes me teary eyed but the story stands firm.

[@deborahcornell171]

I think you'd like "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town". Sort of another story song, very touching. Kenny was good at that.💙🌿💚

[@davidhohn9106]

From clear back at the beginning. One of Kenny's first hits.

[@LM-hb6yn]

Yours was one of the best reactions I've seen to this song. Your first words assumed it up well... this song is about being a man. Well done.

[@denisemiller1235]

Great song. I love all of Kenny's songs.

[@ericadams1849]

This was my favorite song when it came out. My Dad always told us to avoid fighting if possible. I love you Dad, I miss you every day

[@lordgenerias]

Break down Tommy's father's words and it's one of the best pieces of advice a man can learn. Tommy learned well, but learned it was incomplete, or not one hundred percent right, and thus amends it after he was done with the Gatlin Boys. Promise me son, not to do the things I've done: learn from the mistakes of those around you, and try to be better, morally speaking. And try your best to keep your word. Walk away from trouble if you can: try to avoid getting into confrontations with others if it isn't worth anything serious. Tommy had this down, and I hope that meant he'd just never seen a situation where anything serious was at stake. Now, it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek: you're not weak or a coward if you can forgive others for what they do to you. If anything, you're stronger for not giving into negative feelings and causing needless harm or suffering because you feel wronged. I hope you're old enough to understand: I hope I raised you well enough that you can learn this lesson from me at such a young age. A more powerful line than it may seem, as it shows that Tommy's father was worried he wouldn't get out of prison to see him again, and regretted whatever led to him being there. Son, you don't have to fight to be a man: you don't need to act tough to prove anything to anyone. Now, when it comes to how Tommy amends it, it shows personal growth for him, and positive growth at that. As his whole life he'd let others nearly walk all over him and never stood up for himself. So his final straw moment, and the after effects, may show a change in how he lived from then on. I'd say up until the moment he picked up the picture, he was still a boy trying to be a man in his own way. When he'd walked home, he was the man he was meant to be I promised you dad, not to do the things you'd done: he kept his word and learned from his father and avoided repeating the mistakes he'd made in life. I walked away from trouble when I could: he avoided needless drama and problems, though possibly at his own expense. Please don't think I'm weak, I couldn't turn the other cheek: where he changes the lyrics, he's realized you can't just let everything slide and forgive every single thing people do to you. Sometimes you need to do something, mostly trying to use words of course, to show you should be treated with respect. It's knowing the limits of what you should do and never crossing that line without a dire cause to do so. Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man: if words won't work and others refuse to give you any options of a peaceful resolution, you may have to cross the line you drew. Kenny Rogers was more than a musician. He was a raconteur, a storyteller, and stories have lessons, often valuable ones, if you pay attention. As a kid I liked this song, but never understood it. Years later, the lesson, and how important it is, are ingrained in me. Kenny was a good man, and the world needs to learn those lessons he tried to teach us more than ever. Fun fact, this song inspired a movie, and Rogers, himself, had a role in it.

[@CoastalNomad]

Agree...... Well Articulated..... And yes, Kenny played the Uncle in the movie (same relationship he is singing in the song)........

[@droogs4137]

Kenny is a legend

[@karenogle5385]

Grew up with Kenny's music. I adored him. He and Dolly did some great stuff.

[@safespacebear]

there's a lot of eternal truths in these old songs and would be great for the young ones to hear 'em

[@ienhb9952]

Enjoyed the reaction. Kenny was a great storyteller. Please do The Gambler, Ruby, Lucille, She Believes in Me and Don't Fall in Love With a Dreamer with Kim Karnes.

[@barrybritt2210]

thats what every parent should tell their kids

He's got some bangers. You should do "she believes in me". Great love song.

This is heartbreaking. So sad. always brings tears.

[@1Alekfan]

Always loved this song❤️

[@craigholfeld9179]

Good song. Great reaction. "Buy me a rose" is a must hear from Kenny Rogers. It was last number 1 hit. Reminds women to stay humble and reminds men to cherish what they have while they still have it. Beautiful song.

[@TheDivayenta]

You would LOVE The Gambler by Kenny! Great life lesson!

[@ovlifestyle495]

Don't know how you came across my KZbin I'm not even a music person but I enjoy watching. Your very humble.

[@coppertheginger7514]

Kenny Rogers “lady” written by Lionel Ritchie is awesome highlights Kenny’s vocal ability

[@juliatobiason3932]

One of my favorite Country Western singer’s. His other song “The Gambler” is awesome as well. Music use to allow us to picture a story (radio day’s) but now it’s repetitive lyrics and tunes. The new awoke singer’s are frickin hilarious though. They make fun of all this awoke stuff 😂🤣 My elderly school bus driver from Utah always played Country music. He was really cool. May he RIP 🫶

[@onedudesopinion6197]

A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. I think the song shoulda said “there wasn’t a Gatlin boy left alive”

[@raywebb2550]

Great singer

[@loriwilliams5381]

Coward of the county is also a movie. It plays out just like this song.

[@Paradox-vk9fe]

The skill of telling a story with a song, Kenny Rogers was a master at it. Sadly most musicians do not have that skill anymore.

"He whooped all they ass" cracked me up😂🤣😅

Since you've done reactions to Kenny Rogers and you've also reacted to Home Free, maybe you'll do a reaction of them together. Children Go Where I Send Thee is a collaboration between Kenny Rogers and Home Free and it's phenomenal! ❤

[@klb9142]

The song is part of the soundtrack from the movie of the same name. The movie stars Kenny Rogers and last I saw was playing on TubiTV.

[@dsusan17]

Kenny Rogers made a movie about this song. The LEGEND that is Kenny Rogers!

[@scottcard672]

Song fact The Gattling brothers were a band at the same time period. Sang all the gold in California and a fee other country hits.

[@karend1577]

I started collecting Kenny Roger's albums/CDs in the mid 1980's. I was a teenager at the time and ordered through Reader's Digest all of my favorite singers/bands. Kenny Rogers songs have stories! For me, the 2 saddest of his songs was: Coward of the County .. and Lucille.... If you haven't heard Lucille, I recommend it.

[@silverslivver]

awesome 'friendly' advice' thanks my friendly dude.

Watch the movie. Kenny Rogers is in it. I won't say anything more about after he locked the door but it was something to see that song come to life.

Rumor has it - the use of “the Gatlin boys” was some sort of a reference to the country trio, The Gatlin Brothers, who were none too amused :).

[@5972acb]

This song is more powerful when you realize that Tommy's dad was on death row, and told Tommy this before he was put to death.

[@CPny65]

They made a movie about this song. Kenny stared as the narrator. Look for this fight scene clip; it's worth the watch.

[@franknicholson6108]

Before I went into the Army I was accused of being a coward,I was raised. After I had 2 tours in combat under my belt their tone changed. I'm about 5'10" tall but my calves are 21 1/2 inches around my thighs are 17 1/2 and my neck is 14 1/2 around. Didn't get bothered again. (Basic training is a thing)

[@timliston9450]

His songs are also a good story. Another good lesser known song by Kenny Rodgers is called Morning Desire. The ladies love this one also.

[@catangel70]

highly recommend the made for TV movie ( 1981) based on this song - and Kenny stars in it too!

Thank you

[@vladyvhv9579]

Can't really go wrong with Kenny Rogers. Even his weirdest song "Planet Texas" is good in it's genera. He's got the serious songs, the semi-serious ones, and the ones that're just kinda fun.
