I am the lineman for the county And I drive the main road Searching in the sun for another overload I hear you singing in the wires I hear you singing through the whine And the Wichita linesman Is still on the line Ooh-ooh You know I need a small vacation But it don't seem 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 linesman Is still on the line Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ♪ I hear you singing in the wires I hear you singing through the whine And the Wichita linesman Is still on the line Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
