Lonesome Rhodes You know, back in my little old town of Riddle, we had a cousin named Harry. We all called him Cousin 'Hurry' because he was always runnin' someplace. Till one day he fell down a flight of steps and broke his fool neck. We put a sign on his grave says: 'He was in such a hurry, he just couldn't wait to get here.'

Good-bye and God bless you, good people! Lonesome Rhodes Ain't nothin' in this world you can't do when you let the best side of you take over.
