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 that stretch down south 

Won't ever stand 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
