I am a lineman for the county. And I drive the main road.

I hear you singin' in the wire

I can hear you through the whine

And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

I have a friend who (when he first heard it as a kid) thought Wichita Lineman was about a football player.

Jimmy Webb is still alive though....and playing live shows singing those songs
