Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell Lyrics

Wichita Lineman

Written by Jimmy Webb
Performed by Glen Campbell

I am a lineman for the county.
And I drive the mainroad.
Searchin' 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 want you.

Chorus 2
And I want you for all time.
And the Wichita Lineman,
is still on the line.

(Lead, then Repeat last chorus)
