lyrics

When it comes to desperation it's the birthright of this place
And no amount of pills or booze could ever kill the taste
Of the poverty and hopelessness that got shoved down our throats
Though this place doesn't define me it's still all I've ever known

As time goes by these hills all start to look like prison walls
Complacency and fear become the chains that bind us all
If you get out now run as fast as you can close your eyes
And don't look back I'm not ashamed of where I'm from
But I won't let it hold me back

Junkie's tying off his arm and he's using the bible belt
People fill the churches here and the pharmacies as well
To put food on the table the only choices that you'll find
Are working in the coal mines or standing in the welfare line

As time goes by these hills all start to look like prison walls
Complacency and fear become the chains that bind us all
If you get out now run as fast as you can close your eyes
And don't look back I'm not ashamed of where I'm from
But I won't let it hold me back

about

Sheldon Vance Charleston, West Virginia

I have never really considered myself a "musician" or "singer"...I am just a fan who loved music so much that simply listening wasn't enough involvement for me.

What I do may be acoustic, but it is aggressive and is put forth with every fiber of my heart and being. I just want to play...plain and simple...I honestly and humbly feel that the songs I have are worth sharing.
