JAMES TAYLOR lyrics - Wichita Lineman

(Jimmy Webb)



I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road

Searchin' in the sun for another overload

I hear you singin' in the wire, 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 won't ever 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
