Wichita Lineman Lyrics
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 wire
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 drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
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

It's about a line electrician who longs to be with his lover but is unable to do so because of his job. He therefore imagines her singing to him through the wire. Great cover and I strongly prefer this version.
