It has been called the first "existential" country song, with violins and Gulbransen synthesizer simulating the electronic sounds on the telephone line in the middle of nowhere. To me, it really captures the loneliness of the wide open spaces, where your only friend might be yourself! I've been to Wichita, but this song was apparently written based on an experience in the neighboring state of Oklahoma. Wichita is a big city, but those prairies are just as seemingly endless and empty as ever.
