Writed by Jimmy Webb I am a lineman for the county. And I drive the mainroad. Lookin' in the sun for another overload. I hear you singing in the wire. Chorus 1 I can hear you thru 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. Chorus 2 And I want you for all time. And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line.
