  • We filmed this video in Ashton, WV on a farm that Jon currently lives and works on. During the short period of time that I have known Jon, he and I have became great friends. He wrote this song about about moving down to West Virginia from Michigan and finding peace in our hills. We plan on releasing more videos of Jon in the near future.

      The media wants you to believe we're all different and in a war between our selves, but we're not man.. we feel and know.
      I've made so many new friends over the imposed "contention".
      All races of Americans, know what's going on, and the real Ines don't give a damn what color you are, or what you even believe.

      Always been there, I was born n raised with it. The best pickers n singers in the world come out of Appalachia in my opinion. The bad thing is the best ones are commonly too poor to get it out there for anyone outside of the holler to hear it. True story.

    I am but a boy, though I own a heart as old as coal.
    Searching for something in the forests where I stroll.
    I am out here, cause I got nowhere to go..
    The open air, and the trees are known to soothe the poorest soul.
    I run and hide to sleep under an Appalachian Moon;
    pistol by my side I got nothing left to lose.
    Left my heart in the city, for you but you killed it, when you wouldn't say 'I Do'.
    You better love me, 'else I'll be leaving soon.
    You better love me, before I leave you with this tune.
    You better love me, cause I won't be back again. & I know you won't find a better rogue & ramblin' man.
    I am the gentle warmth of the Sun's morning gleam;
    I am the cool comfort of a cold mountain stream;
    I am the Wolf's eye, in the dead of the night;
    I am the tip of the arrow in mid-flight.
    Where do I roam?
    Nobody knows. She don't care so I'm getting close.
    I'll keep walking these hills... Ain't got nowhere else to go.
