Produced by Al DeLory. Album I’ll Be Me. Wichita Lineman Lyrics. 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. And I need you more than want you And I want you for all time 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.

The brightest jewel in Campbell’s luminous late-’60s output, Wichita Lineman gleefully batters the boundaries between pop, country, folk, and more. The Jimmy Webb-penned title track’s haunting melody, sophisticated production, and poetic narrative brought pop songwriting to a new level, but it has plenty of proud company. Campbell’s sweet, clear tenor gracefully transforms soul ( (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay ), French chanson ( If You Go Away ), and folk rock ( Reason to Believe ) into an incandescent amalgam that can only be called Glen Campbell music.
