It'd been a month since Bo came home from the hospital, and things were going back to normal. It was the middle of August and everyone was getting ready for the annual Hazzard County Contest were people come and sing and/or play an instrument. The Duke boys signed up for it months ago and had been practicing a song to sing before Bo went missing. But Luke decided not to do it, so Bo wouldn't have to worry about it, especially after what happened. But the Dukes, especially Luke, would have a little surprise when they got to the Boars Nest.
Everyone was already there when Boss came up and announced the first person. Five more people came up and sang/played an instrument, before Boss came back up to announce that the contest was over, at least that's what everyone thought. "And now everyone, we have one more person to perform," he said. "Put your hands together for Bo Duke!" Everyone were clapping their hands, besides the Dukes, who were completely shocked.
Bo walked up to the stage and took the guitar that Enos handed him. "Thank ya Enos," he said to his friend. "Um, hi, everyone. A lot of people are probably shocked that I'm up here but that's because I didn't tell anyone but a few people. I, uh, wanted it to be a surprise, especially to my family." He looked out to his still shocked family before he continued. "This is a song I wrote myself, and it goes out to my best friend, my cousin, my brother." Luke's eyes opened wider in shock. Then, Bo started to play the guitar and sing the song.
Remember/You Were the One
"I remember when I was five and you were nine.
I fell off that tree and you told me everythin' was fine.
I remember whenever I came home cryin' 'bout the bullies at school, you just told me that they weren't cool.
I remember my first date, I was nervous because she was late.
And you were the one who tried to calm me down.
You were the one who was always there to get me up off the ground.
Chorus 1:
You were the one who taught me how to read, taught me how to write, long before school.
You were the one who taught me how to fight, taught me how to drive, even workin' with tools.
You were the one who was always there for me, even when no one else couldn't be.
I remember all these things, and I'll always remember you.
I remember when I was 18 and you were 22.
You left for the Marines and told me nothin' would be new.
I remember when you were away, I was countin' up all the days.
I remember the day you came home, you looked like nothin' by skin and bones.
And you were the one who told me you were home for good.
You were the one who got me through when nobody could.
Chorus 2:
You were the one who got us out of the messes that I seemed to get us in.
You were the one who knew what to do and asked me how my day had been.
You were the one who was always there for me, even when no one else couldn't be.
I remember all these things, and I'll always remember me.
You were the one who was always there for me in the past and I know that you'll always be there for me in the future."
He finished and looked towards where his family sat. Everyone had a smile on their face, were standing and applauding him, and Luke had tears in his eyes. He got down off the stage and went over to them. Luke was the first one to pull him into a bear hug. "That was good Bo. Very good!" he told his cousin.
"Thanks. I worked hard on it," said Bo. They all went quiet when Boss came back up.
"From the sound of the audience, the winner is Bo Duke!" he said. Everyone started clapping again. His family and friends patted him on the back when Boss gave him his trophy.
"You deserve it Bo!" said a happy Cooter.
"You really do Bo," said Luke, with Jesse and Daisy agreeing. And it was like that for a few more minutes; people congratulating Bo while they were leaving. Soon, the Dukes were driving home, and Jesse, Daisy, and Luke were asking Bo questions about his song. And when they got home, they went to bed with Luke and Bo talking into the night. A few minutes later, they were fast asleep.
