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 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…

New ending....
And if it snows that stretch down south
Won’t ever stand the strain…

And those angry stranded EV drivers
will make me feel their pain.

Where linemen able to on phone conversations? When he says “I can hear you in the wire” I was thinking that was the literal meaning.

My favorite Glen Campbell song. I wish it was longer.
