Wichita Lineman Lyrics

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searching in the sun
For another overload
I hear you singing 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
Won’t ever 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

Thank you.

I am a lineman for the county And I ride the main road Searching in the sun For another overload

I hear you singing in the wires I hear you through the whine And the Wichita lineman Is still on the line

I know I need a short vacation But it don't look like rain And if it snows that stretch down south Will never take 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
