Ending:

Ralph exits, prison, guitar in hand (the last shot is a jump cut of him disappearing into a field of Close Encounters style light flooding the prison door), as Patsy Cline’s Life’s Railway to Heaven plays.

Ralph delivers some voice over as he exits:

Ralph (v/o): “The thing is, Johnny Cash had a monster hit with a song called Folsom Prison Blues …so everyone reckons he’s been in prison half his life. The truth is, Johnny Cash was only ever in prison for a few days in his entire career… one night in Starkville Mississippi, and one night in Lafayette Georgia, both times for public drunkenness …He kicked in the wall of his cell and broke his big toe - a lot of people don’t know that. No offence to him, but if you think about it, I’ve been in prison longer than Johnny Cash …”

As Ralph exits the prison door, the last few lines of Cline’s song - about the blissful shore “where the angels wait to join us, in that great forever more” - play out, with the chorus’s final “ever more” hanging over black.

End credits then start to roll, and Ralph’s version of Midnight Special kicks in over the tail credits. See this site’s pdf of music credits for the lyrics.
