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
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, what a man's gotta do, when a man's gotta do, what he's got to

Jimmy:
You can't expect the future, to be just like the past

Mayor:
When I stood tall, side by side with your Grandpa
There was just nothing at all we couldn't do

Jimmy:
You haven't got a clue sir, please try to understand

Mayor:
I can't understand, why you can't comprehend what to do
Why can't I get through to you?
