i am a lineman for the county
and i drive the main road
searching in the sun for another overload

i hear you singing in the wire
i can hear you through the whine
the wichita lineman is still on the line

i know i need a small vacation
but it doesn't look like rain
and if it snows 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
the wichita lineman is still on the line
