Johnny Cash

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

Wichita Lineman | Reviewer: lesaint | 4/7/09

This is my favorite song that Johnny Cash ever released.

I have never liked Wichita Lineman as performed by anyone else and have always found the la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la bit to be intolerable.

This version, however, is beautiful and subdued, and haunting in its imagery.

By the way, I love Homer as well, but his rendition of this song was an atrocity :)


i am a line for the county | Reviewer: jeremy | 2/24/08

this is one of my all time favorite songs by johnny cash. i suppose part of that is influenced by its use in a Simpsons episode, where Homer entertains an annoying telemarketer by singing, "I am a lineman for the county...lalalala".
