The Mule soundtrack last song revealed

The Mule features some amazing songs across the movie, but there is no denying that the song which closes out the film is a true standout. Set against the final scene in the film, the song perfectly pairs with the emotional scene that is sure to bring tears to the audience’s eyes. If you’re watching The Mule and wondering what the final song featured in the movie is, that would be “Don’t Let the Old Man In” by Toby Keith.

The song “Don’t Let the Old Man In” was written about Clint Eastwood, who then asked Keith for the song to be featured in the film. Surprisingly, the song was not written directly for the film as Keith hadn’t even read the script before penning the song; however, it perfectly aligned with the film’s message and tone making it a perfect closing song and addition to the film’s soundtrack.

The Mule is streaming now on Netflix.
