A Man's Gotta Do

Mayor Josiah Hobbs:A man's gotta do,

what a man's gotta do,

when a man's gotta do,

what he's got to.

A well bred wife,

with a silver spoon and knife,

will butter your bread twice

as good as you do.

I remember when

I was your age,

that's when I was settling down.

Your mother and I were engaged,

and I opened up a bank account.

Jimmy Ray Dobbs:You can't

expect the future,

to be just like the past.

You haven't

got a clue sir,

please try to understand.

Mayor:When I stood tall,

side by side with your Grandpa,

there was just nothing at all we couldn't do.

Jimmy:With all due respect,

I observe and I object.

There's no rush for me to

step into your shoes.

Mayor:You can't waste your time on foolish things,

when there's real work to be done.

There won't be any stopping you and me,

when you do what I tell you son.

[Spoken]You have no idea what I'd do to protect this dynasty.

Jimmy:The road beyond the river,

leads right back to this house.

I won't be gone forever,

just let me go now.

[Together]Mayor:A man's gotta do, /Jimmy:You can't expect

what a man's gotta do, /the future,

when a man's gotta do, /to be just

what he's got to./like the past.

Mayor:When I stood tall, /Jimmy:You haven't

side by side with your Grandpa, /got a clue sir,

there was just nothing at all we couldn't do./please try to understand.

Mayor:I can't understand,

why you can't comprehend what to do.

[Spoken]Why can't I get through to you?
