How Toadies Turned Possum Kingdom Lake into an Eerie Anthem


 My Experience at Possum Kingdom Lake: A Personal Reflection

During my countless visits to Possum Kingdom Lake, I've forged unforgettable memories, from learning to swim in its pristine waters to cherishing the annual fireworks show at Hell's Gate—a cherished tradition for my family. As a Realtor selling in this area, facilitating dreams of owning and selling property here fills me with immense joy.

Despite my decades-long love for this lake, one intriguing mystery has eluded me—the backstory behind the song "Possum Kingdom" by the Toadies, a band hailing from nearby Ft. Worth. Today, I stumbled upon an article that delves into this very enigma, courtesy of American Songwriter, https://americansongwriter.com/behind-the-song-possum-kingdom-by-toadies/

Since its release, speculation has swirled around whether the song's lyrics recount a true tale. Surprisingly, none of the families I've worked with, spanning both long-time residents and newcomers to Possum Kingdom Lake, have ever broached this topic with me. To fellow enthusiasts of this idyllic lakeside community, I pose this question: Have you heard the tale behind the song, and do you believe it holds truth?
