Wife of a Lineman

From the first time we met, till the last time we kissed

There's something about you that I can't resist

And the look in your eyes when you let your hair down

Could tear a strong man to the ground

So girl don't you cry when I put these old boots on

Cause you know I can't stand feelin' alone

When we settled in this home, we both knew I'd be gone

And it ain't getting any easier as the years go by

If I could wrap you up in my arms girl I'd lay you down all night long

But there's a call out that's causing this goodbye

When the lights go out in your world,

There's another that goes out in mine

As I leave my sweet baby for some old broken high line

In the fog and snow I'll be climbing just to keep your city shinin'

And waiting at home in my bed all alone is the wife of a lineman

Well you've seen it all, from sore muscles to the fall

That I took from thirty feet up just last June

And I've got boots and insulated gloves that protect me from the phases above

But nothing to save my heart when I ain't with you

So girl don't you cry when I walk out that door tonight

Cause I swear I'll be coming home alright

When the lights go out in your world

There's another that goes out in mine

As I leave my sweet baby for some old broken high line

In the fog and snow I'll be climbing just to keep your city shinin'

And waiting at home in my bed all alone is the wife of a lineman

Yeah waitin' all alone for her man to come home

Is the wife of a lineman
