This Song is a tribute to Tyler’s late grandfather Jack Allen, a long time Ramona resident and Avocado Farmer in the Highland Valley Road area.  The song chronicles the true story of how Jack found his way to Ramona to pursue his dreams after being inspired to become a Avocado and Citrus farmer while stationed in Santa Ana during World War II.  The ranch property remains in the family and is known as Rocky Top Ranch owing to its unique (even for Ramona) rock outcroppings.
