The Dixie Chicks, however, are unaware of the plagiarism. Evidently, Royce plagiarized the song, which is confirmed when The Dixie Chicks thank Royce for the new song and say that he wrote it. Soon the country music trio Dixie Chicks perform a new song on TV: It's "My Daddy's Back", but with different lyrics and re-titled "America's Back". But Royce plans to abandon Lurleen again, sneaking away that evening. The two appear to have a newfound happiness, and spend a lot of time together. Lurleen forgives him for leaving her, however, and she writes a new song, "My Daddy's Back", to celebrate their reunion. Scouring Springfield, she finally locates Royce Lumpkin, who explains that he left Lurleen because he realized he could never be a great father. Marge plans to get the two Lumpkins back on a proper parent-child relationship. Marge realizes that because Lurleen's father left her, she had given up faith in all men. Lurleen becomes depressed, and the family soon hears Lurleen singing through the vent about her long-lost father. Lurleen pleads that she can't afford to pay her taxes because all of her money goes to her ex-husbands (all of whom strongly resemble Homer), but Judge Snyder is nonchalant and orders her to pay what she owes. Later on, Lurleen is tracked down, arrested, and taken to court. Lurleen forgives her, and the two become friends. As a gift of gratitude, Lurleen cooks a barbecue meal for the family, and Marge gives an apology about the argument earlier. Marge begins to pity her and reluctantly allows Lurleen to stay with the family. Furiously driving her away, she discovers that Lurleen lives with the homeless. Homer agrees to take her home, but Marge remembers how Lurleen caused a huge rift in her marriage, and demands that she get out of the Simpsons' house. Homer comforts the nerve-wracked Lurleen, who says she has no money to pay her taxes. As the city searches for Lurleen, Homer finds her hiding in his car, and learns that after he forsook as her manager, her life had spun out of control. Kent persuades the citizens of Springfield to track her down and make her pay up. The only tax debt still outstanding belongs to Lurleen Lumpkin, a country music star who was once managed by Homer and fell in love with him. Later, on Channel 6 News, Kent Brockman reports that all of the tax evaders have been caught and made to pay their taxes-including himself, as he embarrassingly admits it. Springfield soon starts hitting up its most notorious tax evaders. Lisa then reveals that Springfield has millions in uncollected taxes, and Quimby vows to collect the taxes from everyone who owes money (conveniently exempting himself and Mr. They try faking a natural disaster in order to get relief money from FEMA, but are tricked by a con man posing as a FEMA agent and end up in more debt than before. Quimby calls a town meeting to discuss ideas for raising money. Now ticked off, Quimby tries to take the cookies from Lisa by force, but she gets away, leaving Quimby without any cookies and an empty treasury. Quimby then threatens to allow gay scout leaders, but Lisa says she would support such a move. Then he tries to make Lisa hand over the cookies by saying he will pay her back next year, but she doesn't believe him. Quimby explains the city spent their money on a new slogan, "Springfield: Good". Lisa delivers Mayor Quimby his order of Girl Scout cookies, but he is unable to pay her when he finds the entire town treasury empty. Homer and Marge take Lurleen in, reunite her with her long-lost father Royce, and help Lurleen relaunch her musical career. Country music star Lurleen Lumpkin makes another appearance in Springfield, destitute and a fugitive from justice due to owing a fortune in back taxes.
