Some years ago, I visited a man on his death bed. He was dying from Black lung Disease. He had worked in the coal mines of West Virginia and Kentucky all of his life. I promised him I would write and record a song warning young men of the dangers associated with working in coal mines. I fulfilled my promise with this song called "Young Man" Many of the words in this song are from the dying mans lips.
