My favorite line in the song. I'm not from there but my parents were both born there. Both my grandpas were coal miners. Daddy was born in Hindman andmommy was born in Chavies. I'm proud of my eastern kentucky roots.
Glad I found this!! My fondest childhood memories are of me riding in the back of my Pawpaw's old truck, Homecoming services every June at Burton Pentecostal Church, and the frozen custard stand. I will always love Wheelwright
I grew up in Weeksbury, Wheelwright was like going to town. I went on payday and Dad let me have the change from his pay envelope, he then stopped at the 5 and dime and i would get something. Sometimes it was 20 cents but sometimes it was 98 cents but not very often. That was over 60 years ago. Thanks for the song brings back special memories.
You can feel the ghosting memories pouring out through the music. When he left this day no one saw it, but energies flowed and spirits flew with Erie unseen joy. .
My mom and dad are feom wheelwright, moved us to michigan in the 80's for the autoboom. I made so many trips there to visit my mamaw. She lived at the head of the holler , now she rests in the family cemetary beside her home my papaw built. Ty for this video man.
It surely is a long way to Wheelwright from Stonewall, Louisiana, but I relish the thought of going home for a visit soon! Those beautiful mountains of Kentucky will always be home for me. Watching this brought me to tears. Great job!
I had a mission trip with my youth group a year or 2 ago to Wheelwrite to work with Big Creek Missions and it was my favorite part about my group. Sadly I’m graduated and no longer part of the youth group but I will always remember riding our bus through the mountains and curves of the road at night and then working with the children at the park by the pool area my first year there they played your song and I’ve had it in my playlist ever since.
at 3:18 thats my granny sissy she passed away recently and i always here all kinds of stories about her and how she knew everyone and everything in wheelwright
i was just there couple days ago, im from indiana my dad and family is from wheelwright, i was across the road at that dollar store. was telling my wife how that would be an awesome house and my cousin asked if i heard your music and i hadnt. he showed me a couple songs and been listening to your music for 3 days now lol
i went here for a mission trip 3 weeks ago and changed my life for sure. the people there only want love and someone to talk to😭 it literally broke my heart to leave but i can’t wait to go back
My mom is from there and she talks about it being a great place in the 60s. Her parents and my grandparents owned the store at the head of the junction. I have fond memories as a kid but as a teenager I remember the poverty.
You have an outstanding voice... beautiful song. Hope you make it really big...one neighbor to another...Pike county girl here. Good luck. Blessings to you
My mamaw lives there in wheel right and I live in Prestonsburg so I go visit her and I see all the places my dad was raised there I’m only 14 I love this song
That's really good Nicholas! You should try for the voice! I graduated when your dad did! Your granddad was principal. Your dad looks a little different after 45 years. Who was the other man at the start of the video? Just wondering if this was one of our classmates. Anyhow very impressive song and vocals! Congrats!
For what its worth, I think you should post this to the Ellen website. I've seen her (on the show) be charmed by some youtube artist, like you, and literally change their lives. She's been responsible for making more people smile than Santa Claus.
Not right off, but If i come up with something I will message you back. Maybe talk with local realtors. Pikeville would be an excellent town as well with it being a college town. @@nicholasjamerson
Well Granny moved the family piano from the boarding house up the road The New York company rode off with two fresh bullet holes Well Mary learned to sing on her hymnal, Virginia danced her jigs Shorty, he'd tune up a banjo while Julie fe dthe kids But it's a long way to Wheelwright with the sleep running through my eyes Her chariot awaits till the sweet by and by All of the [] left most folks behind Yeah it's a long way to Willwright. I Hope we make it there tongiht Well Daddy he sure love the junction, always proud as he could be Living in his creek water mansion, next to Doc Osborne sundries A boom town as a young-un, and a ghost town as a man Though there ain't much here for packing, we're taking all we can Yeah it's a long way to Wheelwright with the sleep running through my eyes Her chariot awaits till the sweet by and by All of the [] left most folks behind Yeah it's a long way to Willwright. I Hope we make it there tongiht That time was my pleasure and those days were made of gold Miss all of my time spent at the bluegras pickin show Yeah it's a long way to Wheelwright with the sleep running through my eyes Her chariot awaits till the sweet by and by All of the [] left those folks behind Yeah it's a long way to Willwright. I Hope we make it there tonight What are the last few bits I couldn't decipher?
6 year later I’m still listening and can’t understand why this doesn’t have a million views
I loved Wheelwright growing up. We use to travel Abner Mountain through Lackey way. Curvy but a Beautiful community and people.
Boom town as a young'n and a ghost town as a man. Dang- that sums it all up and hits home for all of East Kentucky. Beautiful song.

Love my mountain home. God bless Kentucky.

Raised 18 years in wheelwright, one of the poorest towns in the country...such a shame such a beautiful region
Thanks to mrs. Jamerson [his grandma] I had a place to live at when I was a kid. This song brings back lots of feelings and memories.
Amazing.

Great ballad for my hometown. Bravo nick
Nick I respect you so damn much I can only hope that I am so privileged as to maybe one day shake you’re hand. You’re one heck of a human being.
7500 + views in just over a day about a tiny town stuck back in the Eastern Kentucky mountains. "Long tentacles ". Great song. Thanks!
Heard you on Stivers and OMG. I love your voice. Beautiful music.
Talk about an underappreciated song!
Truly hits home for me. From Pike County community of Belfry. Not Wheelright, but same region and same feelings. Great job Nick, as always.
Spent 20 years in that lovely place
Wow! Heard you on Stiver's Homestead and now I'm a new fan!
This ole song has helped me more than ever imagined. Southern ky pipeliner placed up north missing home more than ever
From southern Ky, keep on brother beautiful song.
The best songwriter of the millennial generation
Beautiful song, its sad see a town in disrepair in America. What has the government done to us
Just dropping in again, watching the video again and I gotta say wow that looks like an awesome place to have been raised! You’re great Nick
chill bumps and tears...beautiful.

Makes me happy that they still recognize where they came from... Good job Nick!

Great song!! Mrs. Virginia Jamerson took care of me @OES when I was a child. Memories, that's all I can say.
EAGLE PRIDE

Loved growing up there , haven't been back since my mother died
He’s better than most I hope he keeps writing music. Great voice🎉
Do you go to the town reunions they have?
I live in this town
That's really good Nicholas! You should try for the voice! I graduated when your dad did! Your granddad was principal. Your dad looks a little different after 45 years. Who was the other man at the start of the video? Just wondering if this was one of our classmates. Anyhow very impressive song and vocals! Congrats!
Check out Sunday best " I wanna go home". He's played the grand ole Opry. He's great.
Man this is the real stuff right here....a boom town as a youngun and a ghost town as a man
For what its worth, I think you should post this to the Ellen website. I've seen her (on the show) be charmed by some youtube artist, like you, and literally change their lives. She's been responsible for making more people smile than Santa Claus.
You should own a bar/nightclub up in Prestonsburg area with live band nightly.. Sorta like Marlow's.. I believe it would do well.
you have a place in mind? ive been thinking the same thing
Not right off, but If i come up with something I will message you back. Maybe talk with local realtors. Pikeville would be an excellent town as well with it being a college town. @@nicholasjamerson
I bet Shorty had some long rides back to Wheelwrigh
What is the lyric after "her chariot awaits to the sweet by and by"?
C Castle all of the on the draw hustling have left most folks behind
Nick ...Come home and play for us.
i spend alot a time n wheelwright
Well Granny moved the family piano from the boarding house up the road
The New York company rode off with two fresh bullet holes
Well Mary learned to sing on her hymnal, Virginia danced her jigs
Shorty, he'd tune up a banjo while Julie fe dthe kids
But it's a long way to Wheelwright with the sleep running through my eyes
Her chariot awaits till the sweet by and by
All of the [] left most folks behind
Yeah it's a long way to Willwright. I Hope we make it there tongiht
Well Daddy he sure love the junction, always proud as he could be
Living in his creek water mansion, next to Doc Osborne sundries
A boom town as a young-un, and a ghost town as a man
Though there ain't much here for packing, we're taking all we can
Yeah it's a long way to Wheelwright with the sleep running through my eyes
Her chariot awaits till the sweet by and by
All of the [] left most folks behind
Yeah it's a long way to Willwright. I Hope we make it there tongiht
That time was my pleasure and those days were made of gold
Miss all of my time spent at the bluegras pickin show
Yeah it's a long way to Wheelwright with the sleep running through my eyes
Her chariot awaits till the sweet by and by
All of the [] left those folks behind
Yeah it's a long way to Willwright. I Hope we make it there tonight
What are the last few bits I couldn't decipher?
All of the on-the-draw hustlin
