A Man's Gotta Do 歌词
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?
