LYRICS
I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' 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
And I need you more than want you,
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

great pitch and feeling on vocal. the drummers ghost notes were awesome. the rest of the band was in the pocket. great job to all
I really don’t know anyone that doesn’t love this song. It transcends everything and everyone. Thanks Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell.
The legend of this perfect song grows
REM does a good cover, too.
James Taylor does a great cover of song! Give it a listen!
I must say, I don't like it lol but I have a lot of respect for the work of those guys. Pop songs but not stupid ones and an impressive singer. Not liking it doesn't make it bad ;)
Beautiful, soulful version of one of the greatest American songs. Wonderful!
I was a lineman for many years. My good friend Charlie and I worked all over Scotland and the Scottish Islands living in our caravans. He sadly passed away last month and I’ll miss him terribly. All lineman love this song and I found it very moving. Thank you 🖤
I was a lineman for 40 odd years in New Zealand and Australia so I feel where you are coming from Jazzy
This means a lot!
Condolences on the loss of your friend. Wishing peace to all that love him during this painful time.
So sorry for your loss
So sorry you lost your friend. May his spirit journey be swift and true❤️
Beautiful. This song touches the soul.
A real classic song. It's close to 60 years old and is still music to my ears, literally.
Loving this. A younger man singing a timeless clasic
To the younger generation, keep this song going
Wow, I am an old man. I remember hearing this song on the AM radio, 1969, while my dad was driving the car and I was in the back seat, no belts.
I don’t know if anyone would understand this, but hearing a very modern band playing long lost classic is a bit emotional
Yes, I am old too and vaguely remember it, and for some reason now I have to hear it at least once a week, and it almost brings me to tears. I really don't know why.
I agree and understand.😊 I remember being in the back seat as a boy of 9 or 10 years of age and my father listening to this song. I have always loved this enduring classic. Thanks for sharing your own experience.😊 It brings back memories.
@@Terry-bo8qx thank you as well
In a word...AWESOME! I think Glen would be proud.
I love this soulful version of this song.
The Jimmy Webb classic made famous by Glen Campbell in 1968. Brought back to life by the Black Pumas! Awesome Job!!!
The vocalist, guitarist and bass player did an amazing job on this. Remember Glenn pulled this off primarily live solo in any environment. It is a perfect song written by jimmy Webb, performed by as talented as a player our country ever produced. I wish these gentleman all the success and thank them for this wonderful performance.
Brought back to life implies that it was ever dead. But yes very well done cover.
Respect!! Job well done, gentlemen
Na verdade, há vários covers dessa canção de Jimmy Webb. No Brasil, onde vivo, temos Ronnie Vonn que a canta. É uma música que transcende tempo e espaço. Virou bálsamo e vive eternamente.
DAMN!!!!!!!!!! That knocked me straight out!
Just when the moon thinks its alone at night, it lights up and seeks the sun for affection. Thanks Black Pumas
Beautiful realization of one of my favorite songs!
My number 1 favorite song of all time and any genre and they performed it flawlessly. Glen would approve and greatly appreciate the profound complement of Black Pumas singing his song.
I found this by total accident, and it's my favorite Glen Campbell song. This version brought back so many feelings of loving someone and not being able to tell them. Now I want to hear more Black Pumas. You've made a new fan today!
That was a gorgeous performance. Your voice is amazing. My cousin was a lineman. He just passed away. He was only 40. This song helped cheer me up. Thank you.
Best rendition I have ever heard!
Effin NAILED it! Big props!
Incredible, just incredible...
Beautiful version Awesome
I'll say this, this version gives me chills, just like the original. Beautiful!!!!!!
Somebody somewhere needs to hear this in there soul omg
Beautiful cover of a classic. Glenn Campbell made this song iconic and no one did it better.
But, Eric Burton's vocals and the rest of the Pumas did it real justice and did a marvelous cover.
Kuddos to them
I knew this was gonna be good! Thanks for bringing this gem to new audiences!
Wow, thank you for your great interpretation of my favorite song EVER, Sir!!!
Man, this is freaking awesome. Talent. Talent. Talent!
MotherSmucker! I haven’t heard ANYONE approach Glen… until now
Bravo man! You brought it to a classic!
Speechless. Awesome job !
Great songs transcend and then become what each artist wants it to become. Fantastic rendition
Outstanding cover of a much loved tune.
Great job.
beautiful rendition of this amazing song. Respect.
Wow, this is just as beautiful as Glens.❣
You did this amazingly!!! A very classy version! I appreciate that and I thank you! Well done!!!
it is nice to see all these different artist sing this Glenn Campbell classic well done guys .
Musical diversity! Love. Love. Love.
This is what makes life worth living.
Sometimes the only thing getting me through these hard days is your music. I'm starting a post-pandemic bucket list, and the only thing on it is seeing you guys live, in a small nightclub setting. Definitely performing this song. What a dream. So much soul.
I'm in my 20s, & I listen to a lot of music. For me, discovering songs is like finding a treasure. I am compelled to go backward & find the roots of the music, the history. The amazing Glen Campbell is the beginning. What truly draws me to this song is the lyrics of an America that was simple & respectful.& hard work resulted in the American Dream.
Absolutely wonderful!!! 🎼
Beautiful. Amazing voice
Man i love this version
I love that you play all genres of music. What wonderful musicians you are. Don't change.
Pure gold…got chills! Loved it…smooth as silk! I remember as a little kid in the early 80’s my dad playing this in his Z-28. Thank you! ❤
Real artists.
Killer choice!
WOW! What a superb cover of this iconic song!😊❤ A great singer and band members with much talent!
Wow! What a wonderful voice. Great band.
Great to see this great song being appreciated by all
Such a beautiful melody and great cover of Jimmy Webbs classic...did Glen proud
Tasteful, committed, soul dripping in droves. Brilliant version of a gem of a tune. Got that knack of making cover versions your own.
Oh how lovely. It’s so romantic.
My new favorite version of my all-time favorite song!! 😍
Black Pumas thanks from the bottom of my heart. You guys don't know how much I love your music.
No sea loko
You treated this song with great respect. Thank you. I enjoyed it greatly.
That was so beautiful! I was lucky enough to get to see Glen Campbell perform shortly before he died. Eric, you did him proud.
Best cover of the song ever. Both respectful to the original and has the perfect natural "singing wire" effect by the guitars and keyboard.
Damn. Well done.
I love love love this group.
Love this version.Cant stop watching.Needs to do more remakes.He's excellent
This man's vocal range is amazing...!!
I live in Nashville and I can tell you that no other serious artist here would even try to sing this song, but Eric is in an elite class that can nail it. Props!
Absolutely beautiful,thankyou.😘🥁🌻
I wonder if you know how awesome your voice is.... smooth...and the music...I am blown away...
Beautiful!
You did that justice ! Old fav GCampbell would be proud .
From a Lineman to one of my favorite bands, thanks for that version VATOS!
Smooth and soulful.
I seriously can't stop listening to this song! I probably play this 4 or 5 times every day.
Listen to the Glenn Cambell version as well. You will see what an amazing job Eric does with such a difficult vocal song.
This sounds like heaven to me. I’ve always adored this song so much. Great cover.
I just listened to the original by Glenn Campbell and I thought no one could cover this song but you all did it true service. I cry every time I hear this sing6. You can just feel the love and yearning in his heart..💜💜
I didn't think anyone could ever hit these notes as effortlessly either
Listen to James Taylor cover, it is beautiful! I think it's my favorite cover!
try the one by Guns and Roses, Its amazing
Love!
Eric's vocals and Adrian's guitar mastery are the foundation to your continued success. Don't compromise your standards. Black Pumas have musically set a high bar that other bands and artists have yet to recognize. Persevere.
Absolutely! They nailed this song, I want to hear more and more from the Black Pumas... Thank you. 💖✌
Your too kind, thanks Charles!
@@BlackPumas Naa, Charles is just right!
This is good but check out Dennis Browns cover.
Charles Bashay - you’ve said it best! Black Pumas are the TRUTH!
Really well done rendition of a gorgeous classic. Well done.
I can't believe I never knew of these guys before today when someone linked to this cover on a Facebook post. I practically had tears in my eyes by the end. Looking forward to looking up more of their music.
Gorgeous.
Beautiful and haunting
Amazing group
Of the tons and tons of covers I'm gonna say this is the best
Wichita Lineman 1968 - 2020 Wonderful !Thank you Black Pumas
My thoughts precisely. And here we have yet another magical, soulful rendition of this classic, This heads straight to the over crowded top shelf of best of the best covers of Jimmy Webbs Awesomness in an afternoon in front of his piano.
He said the song was not even finished when Glenn Cambell told him, this here is a hit.and he said It Is Now.
But in reality through all the years,it still isnt,look what it became here.
Mind. BLOWN.
You are amazing, y’know that??
Wow! Just, wow. ❤
young man, you are utterly fantastic
WOW, I'm blown away!
Y'all took this song to a whole new dimension!
Listening to this cover. Again. Chills. Again.
My father was just a SeaBee in Vietnam. When he came home in ‘66 he got a job with the phone company. He was dating my mom before he went away.
When he got back she was an operator for the phone company. He would call her office during the day and they would talk. She used to play this song for him.
He passed a year and a half ago. This song makes me think of him every time I hear it and it makes me cry. But I love it!
LOVE FROM LIVERPOOL .ENGLAND. UK
Amazing cover! Thank you Pumas! You rock!
Love it great rendition wow you came out of nowhere thank you God bless
Terrific!
I remember when this came out. It was huge, and I was (and am) a huge fan. I've heard a lot of covers, most of which don't do the original justice.
Y'all, however, killed it. Beautiful take. Thank you.
Absolutely love this version!
Cover of a Bonafide CLASSIC...what a beautiful tribute
My heart❤️. That was beautiful!
EXCELLENTA BLACK PUMAS! A honorable cover of not only one of the greatest performers of all time but top 5 guitarist as well! Great Cover !
DAMN! MAN, YOU BLEW IT AWAY! BRAVO!
Love how this is a blend of original and Black Pumas flavour.
Omg. This is beautiful! Keeping a classic song relevant!
Wow!! Great cover of a beautiful, timeless song. I'm sure glen Campbell would be proud.
He brought new life and soul to this classic.
I’m obsessed with this cover 🔥🔥🔥🔥 always liked the original song, and damn , what the blk pumas do with that riff is Sugarrrr
This. Is. Amazing! Covers are hard to do, harder to own.
Solid.
Pretty much a cover of a cover. The meters version
He went where no man has dared to go with this song and nailed it! He's one of only a few who could hit these notes as smoothly as Glenn Campbell in 50yrs!
What a wonderful version of a beautiful song!
Gorgeous rendition! Love it
