“Wichita Lineman” is a song written by the American songwriter Jimmy Webb in 1968. It was first recorded by the American country music artist Glen Campbell with backing from members of The Wrecking Crew and was widely covered by other artists.
[Verse 1]
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 wires
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
[Verse 2]
I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south
Won't never 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
[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
Still on the line...
Wichita Lineman was written by Jimmy Webb.
