    Tommy showed that there's an important difference between having to fight "to be a man" and having to fight "when you're a man". Such a subtle switch in the words of the song conveys a very different meaning.

    He didn't walk in on her being 'finessed'. He walked in after the fact, yes. And his daddy died in prison asking him to always try to avoid trouble. But the end of the song is Tommy realizing, sure you don't ALWAYS have to fight to be a man, but sometimes yes, you do have to fight to defend what you believe in.

    I have heard this song all of my life. It is another example of a good story telling song. I have mentioned a few times about Marty Robbins. He is another legendary country storyteller. He also was a pioneer in Nascar. He has an entire album titled "Gunfighter Ballads". Any song on that album is awesome. I recommend "El Paso" to start with, but you could also do "Big Iron". All of those songs are Western and have a strong Mexican influence. You will love them.

    Love Kenny Rogers music from when he was with the First Edition (60's-70's) to his solo career. He was a great story teller in many of his songs. You've done a few of them already. He had so many hits "Lucille", "She Believes In Me", "You & I", "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town", "Reuben James" etc. He did a lot of duets such as with Kim Carnes "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer", with Sheena Easton "We've Got Tonight". He also did quite a few duets with Dolly Parton & Dottie West.

Also love the subtle transition of his Dad's voice talking through most of the song and then Tommy replying back to him in the end.

    This song and The Gambler were both made into movies. Actually, there are (I think) 5 Gambler movies. Kenny ruled the 80s. He has tons of great songs, so really, any one you pick to listen to will be great
    If you want the romantic Kenny, listen to either LADY or YOU DECORATED MY LIFE. (live versions are best)
    If you want more storytelling, listen to RUBY DONT TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN, LUCILLE, or THE GREATEST.
    ***Also, check out a younger, groovy Kenny before he went solo. His band was called KENNY ROGERS AND THE FIRST EDITION. Great songs from them include...

    The greatest thing about Kenny Rogers was the story delivery. He made you listen REALLY and it was some pretty good lessons. I know my Dad would make sure that my brothers understood the meaning and took it to heart. Not just the being a coward, or the treatment of someone weaker, or women, but also to make sure you take care of your own. Thank you again AB, every time you post one of these older country ones I’m flooded with memories of Dad and he’s been gone over 5 years. I hope one day soon you will do Merle Haggards “Silver wings” for me, that was a favorite and it’s a beautiful song.
