Wichita Lineman Lyrics

Wichita Lineman

(Jimmy Webb)

 

 I am a lineman for the county

 And I drive the main road

 Searchin' in the sun

 For another overload

 I hear you singin' in the wires

 I can hear you through the whine

 And the Wichita lineman

 Is still on the line.

 

 I know I need a small vacation

 But it don't look like rain

 And if it snows that stretch down south

 Will never stand the strain

 And I need you more than want you

 And I want you for all time

 And the Wichita lineman

 Is still on the line.

 

 And I need you more than want you

 And I want you for all time

 And the Wichita lineman

 Is still on the line.

 Still on the line.

 Still on the line.

 And the Wichita lineman

 Is still on the line.

 Still on the line.
