My 1st Song Started in Tucker County.
Years ago, the first country song I ever wrote was inspired by the beauty of Tucker County. The first line was:
“Driving down Forest Road 75, we'll head up to Bear Rocks and watch the sunrise.”
That song was called "Wild and Wonderful." Now, with the proposed data center project threatening the place that inspired me, I felt called to write a new song. "Data Center Blues" is my contribution to everyone standing up for Tucker County.
Data Center Blues - Lyrics
Davis, Thomas, Blackwater Falls
Canaan Valley in Autunm Fog
Dolly Sods and Bear Rocks Views
Fishin’ Poles and Hikin’ Boots
Huntin’ Skiin’ Mountains Call
Stand Up for Wild & Wonderful
I Got the, Tucker County Data Center Blues
If You Haven’t Heard I Hate to Break the News
Noise Pollution Good Bye Night Skies
We the People Need to Stand Up and Fight
Davis, Thomas, Blackwater Falls
Canaan Valley in Autunm Fog
Dolly Sods and Bear Rocks Views
Fishin’ Poles and Hikin’ Boots
Huntin’ Skiin’ Mountains Call
Stand Up for Wild & Wonderful
Charleston Took Your Voice Away
Tell Me How That Makes America Great
Greedy Pockets Behind Closed Doors
Mockery of the Oath You Swore
Davis, Thomas, Blackwater Falls
Canaan Valley in Autunm Fog
Dolly Sods and Bear Rocks Views
Fishin’ Poles and Hikin’ Boots
Huntin’ Skiin’ Mountains Call
Stand Up for Wild & Wonderful
Davis, Thomas, Blackwater Falls
Canaan Valley in Autunm Fog
Dolly Sods and Bear Rocks Views
Fishin’ Poles and Hikin’ Boots
Huntin’ Skiin’ Mountains Call
Stand Up for Wild & Wonderful
