Finale - Knoxville

I promised you a surprise, didn't I?

And do you want to know what it's going to be, Rufus?

What?

A baby!

Where's the baby now, Mama?

Up in Heaven! No...it's right here. Yes, darling, right here

We come from our people

And our people come from theirs

We pass our descendants

Goin' up and down the stairs

God is good

Prayers are fine

But right here is what's divine

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

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

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
