Wichita Lineman

R.E.M.

Compositor: Jimmy Webb

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
