I am a lineman for the county and i drive the main road
searchin' in the sun for another overload
i hear you singin' in the wire, 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 want you for all time
and the wichita lineman is still on the line
<instrumental interlude-first two lines>
And i need you more than want you, and i want you for all time
and the wichita lineman is still on the line
<instrumental to end>
