I am a lineman for the county
and I drive the main roads
(c'mon everybody, Wichita Lineman)
Oh I,
I hear you callin' down the line
I hear you callin' down the whine
and the Wichita Lineman
Is still on that line
[Official Lyrics]
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main roads
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wires
I can hear you thru 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
If it snows that stretch down South
Will never 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
