Artist/Band: Glen Campbell
Lyrics for Song: Wichita Lineman [Live]
Lyrics for Album: Rhinestone Cowboy [Golden Stars] [2005]



(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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...


Wichita Lineman [Live]

Glen Campbell's live rendition of 'Wichita Lineman' captures the raw energy of his 1969 performance, showcasing his mastery of the steel guitar and his ability to deliver Jimmy Webb's iconic ballad with emotional depth. Recorded for the 'Rhinestone Cowboy [Golden Stars] [2005]' compilation, this track highlights Campbell's signature style, blending country roots with a polished pop sensibility that defined his career. The recording reflects the era's shift toward acoustic-driven storytelling, where the artist's vocal delivery and instrumental prowess were central to the song's enduring appeal. As a staple of his discography, this version remains a definitive example of how Campbell interpreted Webb's lyrics, cementing his status as a pivotal figure in 1960s country music.
