Linework is a brotherhood
It's a trade that unites hardworking men and women around the world
It's a unique and rare gift to have been born a Lineman
because they cannot be made, they are simply born

It is not always a respected profession
actually, hardly ever
Until that storm or unexpected outage hits
then the Lineman is the one everyone looks to

He is the one calling the shots
and the one with the true gift
for he can return light where there is darkness
The Lineman knows no forty-hour work week
for he is always in demand

He is always ready to go at the drop of a hard-hat
and sure to be capable, for he is a Lineman
and for every pole he climbs, his brother isn't far behind
because like I said, Linework is a brotherhood
and brothers stick together,

so don't hate your brother, because he was born the same as you
born to be a LINEMAN, a job only FEW could do!
