"Wichita Lineman" is not a song by Urge Overkill, rather it is a popular song written by Jimmy Webb and performed by Glen Campbell. However, I can provide an explanation of the meaning and story of the song for you. The song tells the story of a lineman, or a worker responsible for maintaining and repairing electrical power lines, specifically in the county of Wichita. The lineman drives along the main roads, searching for power overloads or electrical issues. In the hot sun, he can hear someone singing in the distance through the wires while he works. The chorus expresses the lineman's longing for someone he loves. He needs them more than he wants them, and he wants them for all time. Despite his personal desires, he remains dedicated to his job and continues to work on the electrical lines, symbolizing his loyalty and commitment to his responsibilities. The second verse talks about the lineman's longing for a vacation, but he knows that if there is rain or snow, the electrical lines down south won't be able to withstand the strain. This further emphasizes his dedication to his job and the sacrifices he makes for it. Overall, "Wichita Lineman" is a heartfelt song that explores the everyday struggles and emotions of a lineman and the conflicting desires between work and personal relationships.
