Standard (EADGBE)

1. I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road,

searchin' in the sun for another overload.

I hear you singing in the wires, I can hear you through the whine,

and the Wichita Lineman is still on the line.

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 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.

3. (= verse 2, first 2 lines as instrumental : )

And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time.

and the Wichita Lineman is still on the line.
