Trouble Man, by LisaBeth Weber © 2011, posted Nov. 2, 2012. Full story here: http://lisabethweber.com/hurricane-sandy-trouble-man-song-for-linemen (LYRICS BELOW). Written during Hurricane Irene in tribute to the linemen that work in dangerous storm conditions and video created after Hurricane Sandy / Superstorm Sandy. Met some great linemen during Sandy who came up to help get the lights back on and shared photos for the video too. Still friends to this day thanks to the power of Facebook. Love the connectedness, (hey there's a pun). Please share. **UPDATE 11/14**: Here's a new song I just wrote: Letter to a Lineman - http://youtu.be/9gDvwK3TKlw
For all those who have responded to Hurricane Sandy, and for all storms past, present, and future, profound thanks for your dedicated service. Thinking of all those affected and wishing you calm after the storm, ~ LisaBeth Weber - Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
INQUIRIES: Please contact LisaBeth at create@lisabethweber.com. Disclaimer: Song title applies to both men & women workers; I heard that a lineman used to be called a "Trouble Man" and I thought it sounded right for the song.

TROUBLE MAN © August 28, 2011 - LisaBeth Weber
There's a trouble man up on the wire
When the storms come, he's flyin' high
The many don't know the few
Who keep it safe for me, and safe for you
And I know it's no walk in the park
When some feel like they're left in the dark
But I say thanks for all that you have done
You bring light back to everyone
Some may say it goes with the territory
As they pass you by along the road
But I wonder, what's his story
Could be the greatest one ever told
And I know it's no walk in the park
When some feel like they're left in the dark
But I say thanks for all that you have done
You bring light back to everyone
We'll weather the storm till it passes
Until we meet again
We'll drink a toast to second chances
No matter where, no matter when
There's a trouble man up on the wire
When the storms come, he's flyin' high
So don't look away when you see him
Just say thanks to the man up in the sky
And I know it's no walk in the park
When some feel like they're left in the dark
But I say thanks for all that you have done
You bring light back to everyone
