I am a lineman for the county,
And I drive the main road
Lookin' in the sun for another overload.

I hear you singing in the wire. (Chorus 1)
I can hear you thru 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,
Won't ever stand the strain.

And I need you more than I want you. (Chorus 2)
And I want you for all time.
And the Wichita Lineman,
Is still on the line.

(Lead, then repeat chorus 2)
