Intro
Verse 1
Dusk falls on the valley, wires hum in the rain,
Boots on the wood, spikes bite deep in the grain.
Thunder rolling in the distance, smell of wet pine in the air,
Hands steady on the metal, ain't no time for fear.
Pre Chorus
Heartbeat's a drum, bass line in my chest,
Every inch I climb, I feel alive, I feel blessed.
The storm's my partner, the night my stage,
Tonight I'm dancing on the edge of the rage.
Chorus
Wire and whiskey, that's all I need tonight.
Wire and whiskey, keep me climbing high.
With the thunder roaring, and my blood on fire,
Wire and whiskey, take me higher.
Verse 2
Radio crackles, dispatch calls my name,
Telling me to come down, but I like the game.
Seen the world from up here, tasted of the sky,
In the teeth of the storm, that's where I feel alive.
Pre Chorus
Every bolt of lightning, every gust of wind,
Reminds me I'm a lineman, and this life's where I fit in.
The danger's my old friend, the risk is my song,
And when the job is done, I'll raise a glass and move along.
Chorus
Wire and whiskey, that's all I need tonight.
Wire and whiskey, keep me climbing high.
With the thunder roaring, and my blood on fire,
Wire and whiskey, take me higher.
Solo
Chorus
Wire and whiskey, that's all I need tonight.
Wire and whiskey, keep me climbing high.
With the thunder roaring, and my blood on fire,
Wire and whiskey, take me higher.
