Cover art for Wichita Lineman lyrics by Freedy Johnston

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
