[Mary, spoken]
I promised you a surprise, didn't I?
And do you want to know what it's going to be, Rufus?

[Young Rufus, spoken]
What?

[Mary, spoken]
A baby!

[Young Rufus, spoken]
Where's the baby now, Mama?

[Mary, spoken]
Up in Heaven! No...it's right here. Yes, darling, right here

[Mary, sung]
We come from our people
And our people come from theirs

[Mary and Jay]
We pass our descendants
Goin' up and down the stairs

[Mary]
God is good
[Jay]
Prayers are fine

[Mary and Jay]
But right here is what's divine

[Mary, spoken]
You see, Rufus, when a grown man and woman love each other, truly love each other, as daddy and mother did, they get married
And that's the beginning of a family
It'll happen to you someday before you know it
So I want you to listen very carefully to everything I'm goin' to tell you
Because I think it's time you knew about it

[Older Rufus]
May God bless my people
My uncle, my aunt
My mother, and the memory of my good father
Oh, remember them kindly in their time of trouble
And in the hour that they're taken away

[Older Rufus, sung]
And I will end as I began
A boy deciphering a man
The generosity, whiskey, and wanderin' heart
A dim remembrance of a night
The lines I knew I'd have to write
And in between the lines

Home is the place you start

Knoxville (Knoxville)
Knoxville (Knoxville)
Knoxville (Knoxville)
Knoxville (Knoxville)

Knoxville (Knoxville)

[Jay]
Night falls

[Older Rufus]
Life calls

[Company]
It ???
