Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main roads
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
[Chorus]
I hear you singin' in the wire
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
[Verse 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
[Chorus]
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
[Chorus]
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
