Story Behind The Song

Read an article about miners "pulling pillars," which is when a mine has been depleted, and miners are asked to excavate the pillars that are holding up the mine ceiling...thought that'd be a great simile for self-destruction; then I read an article that claimed Dekalb County in Tennessee had one of the highest per capita suicide rates in the country. Yet, when I saw the county's population numbers it dawned on me that folks must be coming from other places just to kill themselves in Dekalb county.
