1. 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.
2. 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 want you for all time.
and the Wichita Lineman is still on the line.
3. (= verse 2, first 2 lines as instrumental : )
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time.
and the Wichita Lineman is still on the line.
