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

8. Jimmy Webb is a very unique songwriter.

Galveston, Wichita Lineman, MacArthur Park....all certainly different than most Top 40 songs.
