Biografia:
The Band of Heathens are an Americana band from Austin, Texas.
The three principal songwriters - Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist - shared the bill at Momo's, an Austin club. Originally, each singer/songwriter performed his own set. However, they eventually started sharing the stage, and collaborating together with bassist Seth Whitney. The Wednesday night series was billed as "The Good Time Supper Club". A misprint in a local paper billed the act as "The Heathens." In 2007, drummer John Chipman joined the band.

C
Now Odysseus weren't no cowboy name
F
But he sure could play that cowboy game
D7 G
An' he could rope and ride and he could throw a real mean discus
C
Well he was headed home from some far-off land
F
Like Mississippi or Texarkana
D7 G
He was tryin' to get to Ithaca in New York State
C
Met this dude named Poseidon that almost drowned him
F
But this chick named Ino came along and found him
D7 G
I... I didn't really get that part anyway
C
Well he met this girl named Circe, you know
F
She was all hot and bothered and ready to go
D7 G
She invited all of his friends on over for supper
C
Turned his buddies into pigs and that's a fact
F [stop]
So he made love to her and she turned 'em back
D7 G C
I guess he was pretty good in the sack or somethin'

C
Finally he found this guy that knew the way
F
He said, "Now listen close to what I gotta say
D7 G
It's a long hard ride and you probably never even get there
C
And all these friends of yours, they're all a-gonna die
