I think you are right on track delial. At least that's how I always interpreted the words.
I think what I like is the spareness of the arrangement, how it paints a picture of a guy against a background of big, open country and wide sky, squinting into the sun as he checks the wires. The whole song is kind of poignant, giving the impression of his loneliness as he works long hours alone, while thinking of the woman he loves. Even after hearing it a million times, it still always touches me.
