Lyrics: Jimmy Webb
Music: Jimmy Webb
Producer: Josh Johnson
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searching in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing on the wire
I can hear you through the wine
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, the stretch down south won't ever stand the stray
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for a long time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
Is still on the line
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for a long time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
Is still on the line
Is still on the line
Still on the line
