R.E.M. Lyrics

"Wichita Lineman" lyrics


(a song by Jimmy Webb which was a hit for Glenn Campbell in the 1970's. a live
version recorded in 1995 by R.E.M. appeared on the CD single for "Bittersweet
Me") 

I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing in the wires 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 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
