High Tension Lines

I wake up every morning go to work at six
Climb the pole to get the wire fixed
Can’t stop thinking ‘bout the night before
And the fight we had, I can’t take it no more

I work all day and then I rush right home; hear you talking on the telephone
Tellin’ your friends what’s wrong with me; showin our laundry for the world to see

High tension lines
High tension lines
I like the life we’re living just fine except for those
High tension lines

Don’t you want to be with me anymore? Who do you think I bought the flowers for?
You don’t spend enough time with me! Well we got a nice house but it sure ain’t free

You don’t like my mother enough; I’m trying hard to like her but it sure is tough
I need help with the kids a lot more; Then you go to work while I mind the store

Got a slow blowing fuse
But I'm feeling abused
Seems like it’s no use
Can’t we call a truce?

Thinking back to when we first met; We really hadn’t learned to argue yet
Laughed at trouble future was bright; got along great most every night

I believe when you have a good friend; It shouldn’t be a matter of lose or win
We might disagree and want to shout; But I love you baby, we can work it out
