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?
