Jed Marum

Singer songwriter Jed Marum's music is folk, roots and bluegrass in style. With an earthy country and celtic air, he brings real-life stories to song with humor

I love music. I've been playing guitar since I was 10 years old and along the way I sang everything from old folk songs to rock and blues.Today I make a living playing a mix of Folk/Bluegrass and Celtic music venues around the US. I write a lot of the music I sing and I play banjo, guitar and harmonica. I have endorsement from Larrivee Guitars.

Story behind the song

A bouncing look at the world, always driving home, always bringing the miles with me. The song ties together the lessons and the love of music passed on to me by my father.

Lyrics

MILES FROM HOME - (c) Jed Marum 2005

A quarter moon climbed high
That West Virginia sky
I'm rollin on
Still I'm miles from home
cross that Appalachian Ridge
I'm miles from home

This highway twists and turns
'til the mid day summer burns
I'm rollin' on
Still I'm miles from home
cross that Mississippi bridge
I'm miles from home

Seems the good Lord blessed my soul
When he gave me wheels to roll
Well I've known strife
Still I love this life
And emblazoned on my heart
Are the miles from home

My father taught me well
'til I bid him fond farewell
His race is run
And I'm still rollin' on
But his song lives in my heart
All these miles from home

Yes his song lives in my heart
All these miles from home
