1958-1960:  a period of uncertainty; miners had fewer                                                                         working days and long stretches with no work available;                                                                 when unemployment of $30 per week ran out, the state of                                                                 West Virginia hired men to clean roadways for $1/hour

Uncle, what have you done                                                  
                                            (What could I do)
Were you         Desperate                                
                                    Bored
Were you                   Poor     &                             
                                    Unemployed
Let’s call it a period of uncertainty
Let’s recollect you didn’t finish high school
You were only 18
Let’s say the other two men were coal miners
There were fewer working days
Let’s say you’re killing time in Keystone                                                               
One of them knows a man over in Brewster Holler
He carries over a grand on him works the night shift  
Block the road
Jump the man     
Brandish the gun
Bind his wrists and ankles                         
Take the money
Drive the car that leaves                
                    The man bound by the side of the road.
