God made a lineman
Someone who learns from the boots up
Someone who understands how important your feet are
Someone who can be molded
So God made a lineman
Someone who learns harshly
Someone who is strong of soul
Someone who understands a title
God made a lineman
Someone who knows what lightning can do
Someone who understands the damage by wind
Someone who comes thru when it rains
God made a lineman
A person who climbs into history
A person who watches a child wave when the lights come on
A person who understands people are thankful only to forget
God made a lineman
Someone who understands sometimes learning is paid with blood
Someone who stands by his pole buddy
Someone who holds his pole buddy’s wife and family afterwards
Someone who has stood the test of time
God made a lineman
Thru fear
Thru tears
Thru pain
Thru agony
Thru the bad times
And the good
God made a lineman
Why… because silent hero’s Rock
