he walks through the door at the end of his day
just kisses his wife he has not much to say
just kisses his wife he has not much to say
his brain is still tired from working lines hot
its a lineman thing this tired brain he's got
its a lineman thing this tired brain he's got
from watching each move he's made all day long
to watching his buddy so nothig went wrong
to watching his buddy so nothig went wrong
high in the air they work hot primary
i've heard people say that job's just too scary
i've heard people say that job's just too scary
with his hands still wrinkled from wearing the gloves
he touches the face of the woman he loves.
he touches the face of the woman he loves.
his boots feel so heavy as he unties the laces
they're old, worn and dirty they've been many places
they're old, worn and dirty they've been many places
with his head in his hands he takes in a sigh
and thanks the good lord today he didn't die
and thanks the good lord today he didn't die
with a thin rubber glove protecting his life
the lord brought him home to be with his wife
the lord brought him home to be with his wife
some say hes crazy to work like he does
he can't see the juice he can just hear it buzz
he can't see the juice he can just hear it buzz
but he made it home safely and tonight he'll pray
that tomorrow God walks with him through one more day.
that tomorrow God walks with him through one more day.
