The song is about a lineman who works for the county driving the main road and searching in the sun for power lines that need repair. He can hear a Wichita lineman singing in the wires as he works to repair power lines. Though he needs a small vacation, the weather doesn't look like it will rain so the lineman will continue working to repair lines so they can withstand the strain. The chorus expresses how the lineman needs and wants the Wichita lineman for all time, as the Wichita lineman is still working on the power lines.
