Wichita Lineman - The Meters

I am a lineman for the county

And I drive the main road

Searching in the sun for another overlord

I hear you singin' in the wire

And I hear you in the wild

And the Wichita Lineman

Is still on the line

I know I’ll need a small vacation

But it don’t look like rain

If it snows, that stretch down south

Will never stand this rain

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

Still on the line

Still on the line
