Wichita Lineman

Jimmy Webb

[Verse 1]
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload

[Chorus 1]
I hear you singing in the wire
I can hear you through the line
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
Line

[Verse 2]
I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snow, that stretch down south
Won't ever stand the strain

[Chorus 2]
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all times
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

[Break]
(Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing, boing
Boing, boing, boing, boing, boing
Boing, boing, boing)

[Chorus 2]
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line (Oh yes, I'm on the line)
(Oh, I'm callin' ​you)

[Outro]
(Wichita lineman)
Baby, baby, I'm callin' you
(Ooh ooh)
Oh, you know that I need you
(Wichita lineman)
Darling' I'm trying to get through to you
(Ooh ooh)
Oh, you know that I love you
(Wichita lineman)
Darling, I'm trying to call you
(Ooh ooh)
Oh, baby, baby, baby
(Wichita lineman)
And oh, I'm trying to get to you
(Ooh ooh)
Darling, I love you
(Wichita lineman)
Oh, I'm trying to get through to you
(Ooh ooh)
And oh oh oh oh
(Wichita lineman)
