‘Coward Of The County’: Kenny Rogers Keeps It Country

As a little kid, I had my doubts about parts of this song.

Also, the narrator claims he is Tommy's uncle, and he looks after him, but the song makes it sound like he left him on his own.

Worst song of all time.

Tied with a lot of others.

Also, I read Larry Gatlin claimed the songwriter used his last name to further a grudge.

My favorite part was when Tommy locked the bar door, then said “Now youse can’t leave.”

Oh, wait. Maybe I’m getting a little mixed up here.

Kenny did good for himself and was quite successful. Just not my cup of tea.

Oh I’ve got a problem Jerry a big problem.

Very timely for these days.

I just dropped in to see…what kind of s#itkicker music was being discussed

It is disturbing.

My favorite part was when Tommy locked the bar door, then said “Now youse can’t leave.”

Tommy must be a New Yorker.

My favorite Kenny Rogers song:

That Crazy Feeling (1957)
