Wichita Lineman - Cassandra Wilson

And there’s a lineman for the county

And he drives the main road

Always searching in the sun

For another overload

I hear him singing through the wires

I can hear him through the whine

But my Wichita lineman

Is still on the line

I know he needs a short vacation

But it don’t look like rain

And if it snows that stretch down South

Will never stand the strain

I know I need him more than want him

And I want him for all time

But my Wichita lineman

Is still on the line

Still on the line

I know he needs a short vacation

But it don’t look like rain

And if it snows that stretch down South

Will never stand the strain

I know I need him more than want him

And I want him for all time

But my Wichita lineman

Is still on the line

Still on the line, still on the line
