...for the county. Wichita Lineman makes me sad. One of my dad's early jobs was as a lineman for PacBell. It hits even harder now that he's in a nursing home after his stroke.

 

 

I hear you singing in the wire
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

I feel your pain MM. My dad is in bad shape too. So sad to see after knowing how strong he once was. He had biceps that were massive but can barely walk now even with help. 

I think the last word is county so I'm going with TAXES.

It's my favorite song - I think I can quote it word for word. There's something about the lyric "And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time" that always gets to me. Imagine how good it could've been if Jimmy Webb had finished it!

That's the exact line that always gets a lump in my throat and my eyes tear up.
