Cassandra Wilson Wichita Lineman lyrics

And there's a lineman for the county
And he drives the main road
Searching in the sun for another overload

I hear him singing in the wire
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
