Wichita Lineman

(Jim Webb)



I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road

Searchin' 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'll want you for all time

And the Wichita lineman is still on the line.

And I need you more than want you and I'll want you for all time

And the Wichita lineman is still on the line...
