about

Ben says:

As Au Sable Country is for Pete, Saginaw song is for my older brother John (known to the old Saginaw gang as “Cat”). He really did say that line
to me, the one about Saginaw not being a lot, but still being our roots. I think it is in the song exactly as Cat had phrased it that day a long time ago. The rest of the lyrics are all an accurate retelling of how things played out. Our Dad really was a saint, an amazing guy.

lyrics

SAGINAW
(B. Stark)

I come from a place that they call Saginaw.
It’s a middle-sized city built across a muddy river
that flows patiently on down to Saginaw Bay.

I was an all-star there in high school once.
I guess everybody thought I’d go away somewhere
and do something to make them all proud of me one day.

CHORUS:
But I kept on going away
kept on moving it out.
Things got stranger day by day.
Now what in the world is it all about, anyway?

My dad was a sort of a saint in Saginaw.
He lived his whole lifetime there,
I guess he found something that made it worth the stayin’.

My brother once told me something ‘bout Saginaw.
He said, “This place ain’t much, but it’s your roots, for what it’s
worth.” That’s sure the truth.

CHORUS
