What The Hell Is This Song Even About?

Stupid Internet radio and their '50 Songs Of Freedom' feature. I am about to take a drill to my temple if this stupid tune doesn't get out of my head soon.

You mean the niche of 70s lineman who just needed their own stupid theme song.

One of the truly great cryptic songs.

Everyone needs a song, right? I'm still working on mine. The song does not remain the same.

This song always seemed to me like one that was written for him and he was forced to sing it.

according to Jimmy Webbs's biography, there is no great hidden meaning in the song. it means exactly what it sez. it's about the loneliness of the telephone linesman.
