lyrics

I met you the day the season died,
I loved you for mine,
Loved you for a time

Said what you doing up there,
won’t you come down?
quit fooling around,
I can’t love you from the ground

I know your daddy never used no rope,
climbing up them telephone poles
but he came home an angry man
so you like the line,
better than land

I like how your shoes look stacked next to mine,
got dirt on your face,
half of the time
so I wake up with you,
put the kettle on,
watch the stars burn up,
in the light of the dawn

I know they say a young man can die,
another carhartt angel fell from the sky
but there’s plenty down here that can kill a man
so you like the line better than land

work so damn hard to build you a home,
with a timber frame
and a wood burning stove

I know your daddy never used no rope,
climbing up them telephone poles

I know they say a young man can die,
another carhartt angel fell from the sky

I know you’ll make your way home,
when the work is done and the sun hangs low

I know tomorrow you’ll do it again,
cause you like the line,
better than land

you like the line, better than land
you like the line, better than land
you like the line, better than land
