about

Guy just learned a family secret: His great grandfather was Mississippi's most famous desperado. And there's more.

lyrics

Eugene
Your father has been seen
Do you know where he might have been
Despite what he’s done I know he loves you

He and those two brothers they had a gun
Took some money but they didn’t hurt anyone
Did he deserve to serve ten years
Did your mama break into tears
Did you too, or maybe you were just too young

Papers from far and wide report his escapades
Must admit he fits the meaning of renegade
Daring escapes and trips abroad
Some so crazy can’t help but applaud
But when he returned you wished that he could have stayed

Eugene
Your father has been seen
Do you know where he might have been
Despite what he’s done I know he loves you

You and your uncle you know you share a name
You were too young to understand what won him fame
Went too far and killed a man
Don’t know if that was his plan
To the end self-defense was his only claim

Later you moved away to escape the shame
To a little town where no one would know his name
That’s where my father got his start
While you and your father stayed apart
No one who knew you thought that you were to blame

Eugene
Your father has been seen
Do you know where he might have been
Despite what he’s done I know he loves you
Despite what he’s done I know he loves you
Despite what he’s done I know he loves you
Eugene

Get yourself a big pot. Fill it with a broth rich with grooves. Toss in liberal, flavorful handfuls of The Beatles, XTC and Talking Heads. Add dashes of the Allman Brothers Band, World Party and Tom Petty. Let it simmer for a long, long time, until all those flavors meld into the unique, melodic, catchy and indescribable deliciousness we call Storytown. Correct the seasoning. Dig in. ... more
