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 wires
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
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
