He is a lineman for the county And he drives 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 And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time And the wichita lineman Is still on the line Still on the line . . .
