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
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
But it don’t look like rain
And if it snows
That stretch down south
Won’t ever stand the strain
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

I was just listening to the Freedy Johnston version of this song, and he varies from the original lyrics. The corrected lyrics are as follows.
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
