Nice

[@israeldavila119]

Back when men were expected to be men. Gentlemen most the time, yes, we are civilized humans, but every once in a while, you had to fight for your family, or your pride, or survival. Unfortunately we don’t teach boy’s anymore how to be a man. I’ve always loved this song

[@antoniacamelomesquita3666]

Saudades Kenny♥️

[@Mamoyo4]

Wooow

[@marceravot4953]

Beautiful son

[@lennyg3684]

@israeldavila119 - I have taught my 20 year old what it means to be a man and every once in a while you need to fight for your family, pride, or survival. I hear you!

[@davidlucchini]

Je seraient curieux de savoir de quoi parle cette chanson !

[@aleckx123]

Il suffit de chercher les paroles puis d'utiliser un traducteur ! Mais en gros il s'agit d'un certain Tommy qui passe pour un lâche dans son village, puis dont le père meurt en prison en lui prodiguant des conseils de paix (c'est le refrain), puis la vie se charge de faire un homme de Tommy et l'occasion lui est donnée de faire la preuve de son courage, chose qu'il dit à son père en reprenant le refrain pour son compte à la fin. C'est très beau comme souvent avec Kenny. Fais la même chose avec "The Gambler" du même auteur et tu retrouveras un sens 1er de joueur de poker et un double sens sur la vie... C'est ce qui nous fait aimer cet artiste qui nous a quitté en mars 2020 et qui nous manque. En plus les mélodies les plus simples sont souvent les plus difficiles à composer. Respect M. Kenny Rogers RIP

[@ЕкатеринаОвчинникова-у2р]

Это ведь кантри? 🌞

[@reepete4305]

tin sound and all..

[@cleveland2020]

This sounds like The Gambler

[@duckswe8275]

It is not!

[@jonathanbush9568]

🤣🤣🤣

[@michaelzeenus3637]

That's weird considering the songs were written by 2 different people

[@natazer]

He's half man, half badger, half bear. A manimal.

[@Craftastical]

I've grown up listening to this song and always loved it, but.. isn't Tommy just committing mass murder at the end?

[@timpatrickhanna]

I've never took it to mean that he killed them. He beat them until they couldn't stand.

[@timf6974]

Those bastards got what they deserved

[@TheLaird123]

I noticed his later performances removed the gang r@p€ part and the final bar scene he heavily edits. Also he confessed that he dropped this song from performances only to bring it back later without saying why

[@robhollywood647]

Kenny Rogers only cut that middle verse from live shows because it's a long song and he is one of those singers who has had so many many hits in order to fit them all in one show, some are cut down. This isn't unusual and not the only song he cut down live. Heck, Elvis Presley cut down songs in live shows for the exact same reason. Not every thing requires an explanation, especially when one is capable of independent thought.

[@kayequinn7146]

He didn't kill them,just beat the ever loving crap out of them. Love the line about stopping & locking the door.

[@Eltonlaleham]

weird song

[@capacola262743]

oooooooo, merv. ooooooo.
