I am a lineman for the county
And I ride the main road
Searching in the sun
For another overload
I hear you singing in the wires
I hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
I know I need a short vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south
Will never take 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
And I ride the main road
Searching in the sun
For another overload
I hear you singing in the wires
I hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
I know I need a short vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south
Will never take 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
