Lineman

There's bucket seats in his bucket truck

Diesel his cologne

He risked his life for a million volts

Just to send money home

Now he's been hanging from power lines

And he feels financially strong

But every time his baby girl cries

He knows somethings wrong

She don't cop him no attitude

She's as calm as a dove on a limb

And every night he's crashing through the door

Confessing all his sins

But in the end she's gonna lay him down

In that muddy river bed

A siren's song from the great beyond

Will be ringing in his head

Shooting like a star taking flight

She is full of color a guiding light

And the song she sings to the sun breaks the night

And all you can do is try to hold on

The current of her heart is so damn strong

And like the sun you'll break for her song

The windy city got her lights back on

But Kentucky had a real hard time

Three weeks in Pensacola

Just hanging on them lines

Now he's been running all night long

He fought the gulf the southern rain

A sirens song has ahold of his heart

She's the eye of his hurricane

Shooting like a star taking flight

She is full of color a guiding light

And the song she sings to the sun breaks the night

And all you can do is try to hold on

The current of her heart is so damn strong

Just like the sun you'll break for her song

For her song

Shooting like a star taking flight

She is full of color a guiding light

And the song she sings to the sun breaks the night

And all you can do is try to hold on

The current of her heart is so damn strong

Just like the sun you'll break for her song

For her song
