WICHITA LINEMAN
(Jimmy Webb)
Glen Campbell - 1968


I am a lineman for the county 
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing 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 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

And I need you more than want you 
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line
