Wichita Lineman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9x_1Ri3XxE&feature=related

I am a lineman for the county.
And I drive the mainroad.
Lookin' in the sun for another overload.

I hear you singing 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.

1. By the time I get to Wichita
By the time I get to Wichita she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

7. There's something about Glen Campbell's voice and jangelly guitar style
Edited on Thu Jul-30-09 09:47 PM by Sugarcoated
combined with Jimmy Webb type songs/lyrics that transports me like a shot back to 1969.
