Wichita Lineman Lyrics by Cassandra Wilson

Belly of the Sun

0

And there's a lineman for the county
And he drives the main road
Always searching in the sun
For another overload

I hear him singing through the wires
I can hear him through the whine
But my Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

I know he needs a short vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down South
Will never stand the strain

I know I need him more than want him
And I want him for all time
But my Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
Still on the line

I know he needs a short vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down South
Will never stand the strain

I know I need him more than want him
And I want him for all time
But my Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
Still on the line, still on the line
