Song at the end of the movie


I must have gotten an early version of the DVD, because the song sung at the end, when Mac and Sonny are tossing the football, is not You Are What Love Means to Me, by Craig Bickhardt - which Robert Duvall hated - but It Hurts to Face Reality, a downbeat song written and performed by Duvall. I no longer have the DVD, but whenever I watch reruns of this on TV I always think how jarringly wrong the Birkhart song is for this situation and agree with Duvall's assessment.
