Cooley's dad may worked for the once huge Robbins Tire & Rubber in the Shoals. When a person leaves a home to scratch with the chickens he may see things which might mark him for life. I left the Shoals to live in Memphis in the late 80s and yes it was a hell right here on earth. Birmingham is almost as bad as Mempho. But back home, the west side probably refers to the rough side of Florence, Alabama.
