Indeed. Much, much better. I remember hearing that song on the am radio in our ‘64 Pontiac Tempest Station Wagon as a little kid. It touched me even then.

For me it was driving a red 1968 6 cylinder Plymouth Valient going to work and hearing the Glen Campbell version which I think approaches being one of the perfect vocal singles. Car had excellent pickup and was well worth the $2,000 price new.
Funny how music can bring it all back like it was yesterday.
” It touched me even then”
It still touches me. A song about a guy that repairs overhead lines??? Lyrics, tune, Glen, and the musicians created a work of art.
