  • 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.

      Jesus is the only way. We have all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins that may seem small in our eyes are big in God's and are worthy of Hell, such as lying lusting and stealing. But if we repent and trust only in Jesus, he is faithful and will save us from Hell and give us eternal life in Heaven. Trust in Jesus!

    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.

Been following your Music and appreciate everything you make and share Musically as it resonates so strongly with people. I have had a guitar for 22 years and am still a beginner, but I still play. If I ever get past being a beginner I would want to sound similar to you. Thanks for sharing your Music ! I am learning what I can from from listening to you. Best wishes Jon ! Thank you !!❤

    Good job!! I'm a 63 year old Saw Dust Savage from Oregon living in Los Angeles for the last 35 years. You're wearing Chuck Taylors, the same shoe I've been wearing since I was in 3rd Grade. They're a great shoe to go out in the world and kick some ass!!
