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.
(Lead, then Repeat last chorus)
