Wichita Lineman

(álbum: Time Out For Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1969)

Ooh

I am a lineman for the county (I am a lineman for the county)
And I drive the main road
Searching in the sun for another overload (Another overload)

I hear your voice in the wires, yeah (Wire, wire, wire)
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman (And the Wichita lineman)
Is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation (Know I need a small vacation)
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows, that stretch down south
Will never stand the strain (Never stand the strain)

And I need you more than want you (Want you, want you, want you)
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman (And the Wichita lineman)
Is still on the line
Still on the line

Ooh, yeah

And I need you more than want you, yes, I do (Want you, want you, want you)
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman (And the Wichita lineman)
Is still on the line
Still on the line

I'm the Wichita lineman (I'm the Wichita lineman)
And I'm still on the line (I'm the Wichita lineman)
I'm the Wichita lineman (I'm the Wichita lineman)
And I'm still on the line (I'm the Wichita lineman)
