And you're never gonna be able
to make a family of your own
if you keep running away
from the ones you've already got.
Look, I'm sorry I never
came down to Carolina to meet you.
I'm not your family, you don't
owe me anything. But Faith is.
Just tell me where she is.
That time will come.
But before it does, there's something
you need to figure out for yourself.
You need to figure out...
...why the music stopped.
I'm not sure what that means.
I know you're not.
When you are, you get back to me.
You understand this is immunity,
but it's also an admission of guilt.
I'm taking responsibility
for what I did.
Time to tell them what I know.
Well, I want to be
very clear about this point.
Immunity keeps you out of prison,
but you will be a felon.
Are you absolutely sure this is what
you want? There's no turning back.
- Yes.
- But are you sure?
I stand by Luke.
Very well then.
Sign here.
Well, now that that's done.
Thank you for everything.
- Austin.
- Yates.
I'm sorry for everything.
- I'm sorry, Dad.
- No.
No place to go but forward, right?
Dad...
Did you get Faith's dad that
appointment?
No. No, that was Jake.
We're family, remember?
Good day.
It is, Daddy. It's a good day.
Hmm...
You ready? You gonna help?
One, two, three, go!
Thank you, everybody.
# If it wasn't for your loving
# I swear I'd fall apart
# If it wasn't for your loving
# I'd have a cold, black heart
# I was holding on to this life
# With a broken hand
# If it wasn't for your loving
# I'd be a lesser man #
One, two, three, four.
- You remember this?
- My first show.
Right here.
That was a lifetime ago.
- Dance with me?
- Of course.
- You did this, didn't you?
- Well...
I think maybe what I missed most
about not going to your wedding
was that father-daughter dance.
You know?
I hear the music, Daddy.
Do you?
Never stopped, baby.
Never did.
Thank you for coming home.
I missed you.
I missed you so.
But I think maybe I better quit hogging
the dance floor with you like this.
- Are you tired?
- No, no, no. I'm fine. I'm fine.
But your husband's liable to get jealous
if I don't let you dance with him.
Thank you.
You take care of her.
Yes, sir.
# I'm a little lamb
# Who's lost in the woods
# I know that I
# Would always be good
# To someone who'll watch
Dance with me.
You hate to dance in public.
Not anymore.
Why are you here?
Because you're my wife
and I want you to come home.
I can't leave here
and go back to New York.
I never said New York.
I said "come home. "
Wherever you are, Faith,
that's my home.
I wanna come home.
I love you.
# Won't you tell her please
# To put on some speed?
# Follow my lead
# Oh, how I need
# Someone...
- Do you hear that?
- What's that?
Music.
What about it?
It's ours.
It never stopped.
# Turns out to be
# Someone who'll watch
# Over me
# Over me
# Someone to watch over me #
# In the sweet by and by
# We shall meet
on that beautiful shore
# In the sweet by and by
# We shall meet
on that beautiful shore #
Calvin was a man of few words,
but he made them count.
He was just one of those guys
who got it right, wasn't he?
Whenever you were with him,
you knew exactly where you stood.
And he always made you feel
like he liked you.
But more than anything...
...Calvin loved.
Especially his girls.
Give me a minute, OK?
Hey.
Silver's here.
He... He wanted to see you.
He hasn't really...
quite been the same since you left.
He's been pretty lonely,
so I've been thinking
we should get him
someone to play with.
I'm really glad
you two are together again.
I... I wish that you could meet him.
He's coming soon,
you know, and...
...we're gonna stay at the farm,
so I'm excited.
We're gonna name him Calvin.
Bye, Daddy.
# He said
"I know I'm not the man
# That he imagined for his daughter
# I'm not what he had in mind"
# He said
"Her daddy probably dreamed
# About some lawyer or a doctor
# But I never was that kind
# We were in love
and that's all that mattered
# You know her heart was all
that I was after"
# He said, "I'm a dandelion
# She's a buttercup
# I'm a clover
She's the luck
# She's a painted daisy
# I'm the blue grass underneath
# She's all faith
and I'm the doubter
# She's the sweet and I'm the sour
# We're like weeds and wildflowers
# He said
"I asked her back in '62
# If she'd be my forever
# Let's run away and go to Vegas"
# She said
"I wanna be your wife
# But there has got to be a preacher
# I want all of God's angels
to see us
# We rolled the dice on life
and made it
# If there's a storm inside
we faced it"
# And he said,
"I'm a dandelion
# She's a buttercup
# I'm the clover
she's the luck
# She's a painted daisy
# I'm the blue grass underneath
# She's all faith
and I'm the doubter
# She's the sweet and I'm the sour
# We're like weeds
and wildflowers"
# He said
"Just last fall
# Heaven called
and the preacher asked
# If I would stand before the crowd
# And say a few last words
# And on the mountainside
# Misty-eyed I couldn't
help but notice
# All the daisies
as they laid her in the earth"
# He said
"I'm a dandelion
# She was my buttercup
# I'm a clover
She will always be my luck
# Now I'm going crazy
# As she was my everything
# She had faith
Now I'm without her
# Oh, our love goes on forever
# How I long to be beside her
# Just like weeds
and wildflowers" #
