Thought’s Of A Lineman’s Wife
HE KISSES HER BYE AS HE GOES OUT THE DOOR
ANOTHER WEEK SHE MUST ENDURE.
HE BUILDS POWERLINE'S AND WORKS AWAY
SHE STAYS HOME THEY HAVE KIDS TO RAISE
THERE'S A HOLE IN HER HEART WHEN HE IS GONE
THE WONDER THE WORRY IS ANYTHING WRONG?
HE CALLS TO CHAT A FEW TIMES A DAY
THAT’S GOOD AT LEAST SHE KNOWS HE'S O.K
SHE GOES TO KIDS FUNCTIONS ALONE ALL THE TIME
SHE KNOW'S HE WOLD IF HE HAD THE TIME
THIS JOB COMES BEFORE HIS FAMILY
PEOPLE NEED ELECTRICITY
SHE KNOWS IN HER HEART IT'S HIS FIRST LOVE
SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN SECOND TO THE WORK THAT HE DOES.
BUT SHE WAITS PATIENTLY FOR HIS SAFE RETURN.
SOME WIVES DON'T GET THAT,
A HARD THING I HAVE LEARNED.
THE YEARS OF WORRY THE NIGHTS ALONE,
KIDS THOUGHT DADDY WAS A TELEPHONE.
LONG STORMY NIGHTS WE HAVE SPENT IN THE DARK
THROUGH TORNADOS AND HURRICANES WE’VE SEEN IT ALL
AND WORRY ALONE CAUSE HE'S ON CALL
DOVOTED LINEMAN ARE HARD TO FIND
RISK THEIR LIVES WHILE WORKING THE LINE
LEAVING FAMILY AT HOME WE KNOW YOU LOVE SO...
IT'S A ROUGH LIFE....BELIEVE ME I KNOW.
